A wise ruler, according to Machiavelli, is one who is flexible and willing to act immorally if necessary to maintain power and authority. It is important for the ruler to be seen as strong and decisive, even if it means using deceit or manipulation. Machiavelli argues that the ends justify the means when it comes to ruling effectively.
"The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli describes how a strong ruler obtains and keeps power through methods such as cunning, manipulation, and decisiveness. Machiavelli argues that a ruler should do whatever is necessary to maintain control and stability, even if it means acting without traditional moral constraints.
Machiacelli's The Prince is best known for describing whether it is better for a ruler to be feared or loved (Machiavelli chooses feared). Overall, though, the book is a guide on how to/how not to rule over a country, and is an early form of political philosophy.
