On Machiavelli’s Republicanism

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
Once a republic falls, it’s lost forever. This is because the strength of a republic comes from the morality of its citizens and once the citizens become morally corrupted, it’s impossible for them to be moral again. Niccolò Machiavelli makes this point in his work, the *Discourses on Livy*. He points out that while a republic is created by the politicians (he uses the word, “Princes”), it’s the citizens who maintain it because they are more moral and trustworthy than the ruling class. In times of danger, there is greater stability and courage in the citizens than in the ruling clas... more »

Why Does America Sentence People to Hundreds of Years in Prison?
