It is as if Dave Bronconnier ruled all of Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks and Cochrane with its own set of laws, its own currency
In the Renaissance there were five major city-states:
_______________, ____________, ______________, ______________ and the __________________ and a number of smaller ones that were mostly controlled by the major city-states
There are several modern day city-states including _____________,_____________
and ______________________
These city-states were often at war
Even the Pope (____________________________________) was a prince with territory that he had to defend. The Papal States were often at war during the Renaissance
Pope Julius II is even known as the “___________________” for all of the battles he fought
Niccolò Machiavelli
1469 C.E. - 1527 C.E.
Humanist from Florence
“The Prince”: how a ruler should __________, _____________ and __________ their power
Just like Baldassare described the ultimate courtier, Machiavelli described the ultimate prince
“The Prince” was modeled after ______________ (illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI) who was given an army to carve out territory for himself in Italy
Machiavelli said....
For a man who, in all respects, will carry out only his professions of good, will be apt to be ruined amongst so many who are evil. A prince therefore who desires to maintain himself must learn to be not always good, but to be so or not as necessity may require.”
“There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others. “
“War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.”
“War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.”
“It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.”
Based on what he said, what did Machiavelli believe?
“The ends justify the means”
Ends = _______________
Justify = _______________________
Means = _______________________ we take to achieve goals
when the actions we take are considered acceptable because of the specific end results we want to achieve
Pragmatism: (“do whatcha gotta do to get whatcha want”)
Ex. 1) Doing well on your social tests and getting good marks justifies (makes reasonable) studying every night even though you may not want to.
Ex. 2) Wanting access to certain resource justifies invading another territory
