In The Prince, Machiavelli called for

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Machiavelli's main focus in The Prince is on the acquisition and maintenance of political power, and he argues that the unification of Italy under a strong ruler is necessary for achieving stability and security. While Machiavelli does discuss the importance of honesty and virtue in a ruler, he ultimately suggests that a leader must be willing to use any means necessary to maintain power, including deception, violence, and manipulation. Therefore, choice A is not the best answer. Similarly, choice C is not accurate as Machiavelli does not advocate for loosening the bonds of the state, but rather for a strong centralization of power.
