Machiavelli

Machiavelli In Chapter XV of The Prince, Machiavelli accuses other thinkers of having concerned themselves with “republics and principalities that have never been seen-” If he were to address this accusation to Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and Saint Augustine, how might they have defended themselves against it? Note: only use Plato's "Republic', Machiavelli's 'The Prince“, Cicero's “On the Good Life", Augustine's 'The City of God", and Aristotle's 'Pol’rtics"as sources- It is requ’red to use all five of these sources with in text citations including the name of the work in italics and the page number- No works cited necessary. IMPORTANT: This essay must be turned in on turnitin-com so there can be no trace of plagiarism aside from the quotations from the sources-
