What advice did Machiavelli give to the rulers in ''The Prince''?

∙ 11y ago
Machiavelli's advice for the prince(s) is multifaceted but the undercurrent remains stable: to do what is expedient for the state even if it requires resorting to evil practices, cruelty, and deceit. Machiavelli has no compunctions about recommending that the new prince destroy the old prince and his entire family in order to eliminate the possibility of insurrection from the old regime. Even though Machiavelli urges violence when necessary, he also tempers his advice to include prudence on the part of the prince so that the injuries inflicted can raise no possibility of vengeance.
The prince himself must know how to maintain his own circle of friends, but not rely on them for decision-making; he gathers information but makes the decisions himself. He must be independently strong, even maintaining his physical strength and prowess and his skills at hunting. The prince will understand the psychology of people. For example, he will prepare them for adversity by making sure that provisions are in store for them and maintaining adequate defense for the people. By providing good laws and good arms for his people, the prince will foster loyalty in his and longevity for his state.
