Machiavelli analysis

                  Machiavelli stood for many things like the people need a leader to rule them and they should look good in the peoples eyes at all time. He says that "So long as you do not deprive them of either their property or their honor , the majority of men live happily." He says that a leader should have two fears 1 involving the people close to him and 2 the foreign powers around him. He thinks it is more important to keep a leadership position than be honest. He says that you need to be a fox in order to see the traps and a lion to frighten the wolves. Hes pretty much saying that you have to play both sides of the fence in order to stay at the top and look good for the people.
