De què tracta
El llibre llarg de Maquiavel, i el republica: un comentari a la historia de Roma de Titus Livi que acaba sent una teoria de com neixen, duren i moren les republiques.
Context i història
Qui nomes conegui «El princep» s'endura una sorpresa. Aqui Maquiavel defensa que el millor govern es el mixt i popular, que el poble equivocat es menys perillos que un princep equivocat, i —el que va escandalitzar mes— que els conflictes entre plebs i senat no van debilitar Roma sino que la van fer lliure: la discordia ben canalitzada es un motor institucional, no una malaltia. Hi ha tambe la teoria de la corrupcio i del retorn als principis, i la desconfianca de les tropes mercenaries. Els «Discursos» i «El princep» es van escriure gairebé alhora i no es contradiuen tant com sembla; llegir-los junts es la manera de veure que Maquiavel no proposava una moral sino que descrivia una mecanica.

Permit me to inscribe your name on a translation of Machiavelli’s Discourses which I had your encouragement to undertake, and in which I have done my best to preserve something of the flavour of the original.

Of the accidents which led in Rome to the creation of Tribunes of the People, whereby the Republic was made more perfect IV. That the dissensions between the Senate and Commons of Rome made Rome free and powerful V. Whether the guardianship of public freedom is safer in the hands of the Commons or of the Nobles; and whether those who seek to acquire power, or they who seek to maintain it, are the greater cause of commotions VI. Whether it was possible in Rome to contrive such a Government as would have composed the differences between the Commons and the Senate VII. That to preserve liberty in a State, there must exist the right to accuse VIII. That calumny is as hurtful in a Commonwealth as the power to accuse is useful IX. That to give new institutions to a Commonwealth, or to reconstruct old institutions on an entirely new basis, must be the work of one Man X. That in proportion as the founder of a Kingdom or Commonwealth merits praise, he who founds a Tyranny deserves blame XI. Of the Religion of the Romans XII. That it is of much moment to make account of Religion; and that Italy, through the Roman Church, being wanting therein, has been ruined XIII.…
