5 1, II | AND OF WHICH WAS THE ROMAN REPUBLIC~I want to place aside the

7 1, II | institutions; and that [Republic] is even further from them
8 1, II | is an easy thing for the Republic to be ruined before it can
9 1, II | perfect constitution. The Republic of Florence gives a proof
10 1, II | so that an organizer of a Republic institutes one of those
11 1, II | governments: for almost no Republic can have so long a life
12 1, II | the troubles besetting a Republic always lacking counsel and
13 1, II | this does not happen, a Republic would be apt to revolve

15 1, II | keep their rank in that Republic. And thus was born [the
16 1, II | creation the government of that Republic came to be more stable,
17 1, II | between the three] it made the Republic perfect: which perfection
18 1, III | IN ROME, WHICH MADE THE REPUBLIC MORE PERFECT~As all those
19 1, III | whoever arranges to found a Republic and establish laws in it,
20 1, IV | THE ROMAN SENATE MADE THAT REPUBLIC FREE AND POWERFUL~I do not
21 1, IV | that Rome was a tumultuous Republic and full of so much confusion,
22 1, IV | inferior to every other Republic.~I cannot deny that fortune
23 1, IV | not consider that in every Republic there are two different
24 1, IV | harmful, nor divisive to a Republic, which in so great a time
25 1, IV | not very many: nor can a Republic in any way with reason be

27 1, V | prudently established a Republic, was to establish a guard
28 1, V | time]. And because in every Republic there exists the Nobles
29 1, V | playing a greater part in the Republic, [and] having this club
30 1, V | discussions and troubles in a Republic, and apt to bring the Nobility
31 1, V | Empire [Government] of the Republic. Nor was this enough for
32 1, V | may be more harmful to the Republic, either those who desire
33 1, V | discussion is either of a Republic which wants to create an
34 1, V | men are more harmful in a Republic, either those who desire
35 1, VI | accepting outsiders in their Republic, they did not have the opportunity
36 1, VI | quiet as the above mentioned Republic, either not to employ the
37 1, VI | want to establish a new Republic, he should have to consider
38 1, VI | and [those] well armed, no Republic can ever increase, or if
39 1, VI | acquisitions, based on a weak Republic, are entirely their ruin,
40 1, VI | also rebelling, ruined that Republic entirely.~Similarly Venice
41 1, VI | believe then that to create a Republic which should endure a long
42 1, VI | why war is made against a Republic: The one, to become lord
43 1, VI | that having established a Republic adept at maintaining itself
44 1, VI | necessary in organizing a Republic to think of the more honorable

47 1, VII | JUDICIARY] IS NECESSARY FOR A REPUBLIC FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LIBERTY~
48 1, VII | most useful effects for a Republic. The first is, that for
49 1, VII | cause the complete ruin of a Republic. And there is nothing which
50 1, VII | is nothing which makes a Republic so stable and firm, as organizing
51 1, VII | useful and necessary for a Republic with its laws to provide
52 1, VII | no disorder ensues in the Republic, because its execution is
53 1, VII | to things that ruin the Republic.~And to corroborate this
54 1, VII | have resulted to the Roman Republic if he had been killed in
55 1, VII | troubles happened to the Republic of Florence because the
56 1, VII | there being no way in the Republic of being able to resist
57 1, VII | because there was not in that Republic [means of making] accusations
58 1, VII | before eight judges in a Republic is not enough; it is necessary
59 1, VII | accusations are useful in a Republic, so also are calumnies useless
60 1, VIII | ACCUSATIONS ARE USEFUL TO A REPUBLIC, SO MUCH SO ARE CALUMNIES
61 1, VIII | them. An establisher of a Republic therefore ought so to organize
62 1, VIII | there was no way in that Republic of being able to do so.
63 1, VIII | resulted the ruin of the Republic.~Manlius Capitolinus was
64 1, IX | DESIRING TO ORGANIZE A NEW REPUBLIC TO REFORM ITS INSTITUTIONS
65 1, IX | of the organizers of this Republic, or of [having regard for]
66 1, IX | rarely occurs that some Republic or Kingdom is well organized
67 1, IX | A prudent Organizer of a Republic, therefore, who has in mind
68 1, IX | Kingdom or in constituting a Republic. It is well then, when the
69 1, IX | conclude that to establish a Republic it is necessary that one
70 1, X | establish either a Kingdom or a Republic with eternal honor to themselves,
71 1, X | private individuals in a Republic, or who by fortune or virtu
72 1, X | has become a Prince in a Republic also consider how much more
73 1, XI | fear of God than in that Republic, which facilitated any enterprise
74 1, XI | should want to establish a Republic in the present era, would
75 1, XI | from him.~The welfare of a Republic or a Kingdom, therefore,
76 1, XII | institution. The Princes of a Republic or a Kingdom ought therefore
77 1, XII | therefore to maintain their Republic’s religions, and in consequence
78 1, XII | City.~If the Princes of the Republic had maintained this Christian
79 1, XII | obedience entirely to one Republic or one Prince, as has happened
80 1, XII | not also governed by one Republic or one Prince, is solely
81 1, XIV | well-being of the Roman Republic. Whence the Romans cared
82 1, XV | important institutions of the Republic of Rome, it has appeared
83 1, XVI | either by the way of liberty [Republic] or by the way of a Principate,
84 1, XVI | of a Prince here and of a Republic there, none the less in
85 1, XVI | Prince, therefore, or that Republic, that does not secure itself
86 1, XVII | but rather benefited the Republic. And this conclusion can
87 1, XVII | to maintain the form of a Republic and Empire, but after his
88 1, XVIII | institutions and laws made in a Republic at its origin when men were
89 1, XVIII | becoming of a Prince of a Republic by violence presupposes
90 1, XVIII | impossibility of maintaining a Republic in a City that has become
91 1, XVIII | than to a Popular State [Republic], so that those men who
92 1, XX | and Alexander the Great. A Republic ought to be able to do so
93 1, XX | well established in every Republic.~
94 1, XXI | MUCH BLAME THAT PRINCE AND REPUBLIC MERIT WHO LACK THEIR OWN
95 1, XXIII | the establishment of the Republic in order to have it exist
96 1, XXIV | for what the orders of the Republic ought to be, will blame
97 1, XXIV | this, that no well-ordered Republic ever cancels the misbehavior
98 1, XXIV | by Rome. And although a Republic may be poor and can give
99 1, XXV | an absolute power into a Republic or a Kingdom; but he who
100 1, XXVI | the form of a Kingdom or a Republic, [will find] the best remedy
101 1, XXVIII | and perhaps in any other Republic. And in seeking the reasons
102 1, XXIX | although these things in a Republic already corrupted cause
103 1, XXIX | him, none the less in a Republic not yet corrupted they are
104 1, XXX | WHAT MEANS A PRINCE OR A REPUBLIC OUGHT TO USE TO AVOID THIS
105 1, XXX | he is destroyed.~As to a Republic wishing to avoid this vice
106 1, XXX | same means that the Roman Republic used in being less ungrateful
107 1, XXX | generate ingratitude. So that a Republic that does not want to have
108 1, XXXI | THEM, HARM ENSUED TO THE REPUBLIC~The Romans were (as we discussed
109 1, XXXI | conjecture of the Roman Republic, if both of them had not
110 1, XXXI | true that where another Republic would have punished them
111 1, XXXI | by Hannibal, where that Republic was brought in danger of
112 1, XXXII | CHAPTER XXXII~A REPUBLIC OR A PRINCE OUGHT NOT TO
113 1, XXXII | otherwise, whether Prince or Republic, and especially a Prince,
114 1, XXXIII | ATTACK IT RASHLY~The Roman Republic growing in reputation, strength,
115 1, XXXIII | thought how much harm that new Republic would be able to bring to
116 1, XXXIII | at any time against the Republic in the expansion of the
117 1, XXXIII | springs up either within a Republic or against a Republic, whether
118 1, XXXIII | a Republic or against a Republic, whether from intrinsic
119 1, XXXIII | arise more frequently in a Republic from intrinsic and extrinsic
120 1, XXXIII | is seen to spring up in a Republic who has in him some extraordinary
121 1, XXXIII | and made him Prince of the Republic, to which rank he could
122 1, XXXIII | accelerated the ruin of the Republic.~I say, therefore, that
123 1, XXXIII | without that remedy, that Republic would have been involved.~
124 1, XXXIV | AND NOT HARM TO THE ROMAN REPUBLIC; AND THAT THE AUTHORITY
125 1, XXXIV | that was not good for the Republic. For which there are very
126 1, XXXIV | never have in an uncorrupted Republic, for he needs to be very
127 1, XXXIV | customary orders of the Republic move to slowly (no council
128 1, XXXIV | institutions. And the Venetian Republic (which among modern Republics
129 1, XXXIV | similar method is lacking in a Republic, either observing the institutions [
130 1, XXXIV | to break them. And in a Republic, it should never happen
131 1, XXXIV | for evil ones. So that no Republic will be perfect, unless
132 1, XXXIV | the Consuls see that the Republic suffers no detriment. But
133 1, XXXV | HARMFUL TO THE LIBERTY OF THAT REPUBLIC, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT IT
134 1, XXXV | suffrage never harmed any Republic, it presupposed that a People
135 1, XXXVI | useless for the public. For a Republic ought to have more hope,
136 1, XXXVII | IT IS TO MAKE A LAW IN A REPUBLIC WHICH GREATLY REGARDS THE
137 1, XXXVII | destruction of the Roman Republic. And because well-ordered
138 1, XXXVII | abuse that has grown up in a Republic, and enact a retrospective
139 1, XXXVIII| a proceeding that every Republic ought to have taken, none
140 1, XXXIX | foresee the future in any Republic, and to apply those remedies
141 1, XXXIX | so that no rank in that Republic would remain to the Nobility.
142 1, XL | MANY OTHER THINGS HOW A REPUBLIC CAN BE SAVED OR RUINED BECAUSE
143 1, XL | those who want to maintain a Republic free as well as by those
144 1, XL | condition they had brought the Republic. And this affliction was
145 1, XLIII | or to want to maintain a Republic or a Kingdom, that he arm
146 1, XLV | is a worse example in a Republic than to make a law and not
147 1, XLV | seen how harmful it is to a Republic or to a Prince to keep the
148 1, XLVI | said before) who live in a Republic seek in the first instance
149 1, XLVI | according to his will. Whence a Republic, among its institutions,
150 1, XLIX | it is in establishing a Republic to provide all those laws
151 1, XLIX | the progress of the Roman Republic, which notwithstanding that
152 1, XLIX | for it is not well that a Republic should be so constituted
153 1, XLIX | could truly be called a Republic. And these difficulties
154 1, XLIX | considered by an establisher of a Republic is to examine into whose
155 1, L | all the activities of that Republic. When the Senate saw this,
156 1, L | necessary in maintaining the Republic. For instance, if you give
157 1, L | Consuls.~In the Venetian Republic, the grand Council distributes
158 1, L | being able with peril to the Republic to stop public activities.~
159 1, LI | CHAPTER LI~A REPUBLIC OR A PRINCE OUGHT TO FEIGN
160 1, LII | ONE WHO SPRINGS UP IN A REPUBLIC, THERE IS NO MORE SECURE
161 1, LII | there cannot exist in a Republic, and especially in those
162 1, LII | and less harmful to the Republic, for them to have forestalled
163 1, LII | ruin, all the rest of the Republic should be ruined; for if
164 1, LIII | whom they have faith, the Republic is subjected to infinite
165 1, LIII | beneath the ruin of the Republic, it will always be easy
166 1, LIII | welfare and benefit [of the Republic] were hidden under it. This
167 1, LIII | that it was useless to that Republic to proceed slowly in that
168 1, LIII | no easier way to ruin a Republic where the People have authority,
169 1, LV | AND WHERE THERE IS NONE A REPUBLIC CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED~Although
170 1, LV | everyone should present to the Republic the tenth part of that which
171 1, LV | other cause, is that that Republic, whose political existence
172 1, LV | are pernicious to every Republic and to every Province: but
173 1, LV | that there never has been a Republic in those provinces, nor
174 1, LV | to want to introduce a Republic would be impossible. But
175 1, LV | would want to establish a Republic where there are many Gentlemen,
176 1, LV | as the establishing of a Republic in a province better adapted
177 1, LV | better adapted to being a Republic, is a matter for one who
178 1, LV | opinion of mine, that a Republic cannot be established where
179 1, LV | experience of the Venetian Republic, in which none could have
180 1, LV | for the Gentlemen in that Republic are more so in name than
181 1, LVIII | Roman People, who while the Republic remained incorrupt, never
182 1, LVIII | whether alliances made with a Republic, or those made with a Prince,
183 1, LIX | WHETHER THOSE MADE WITH A REPUBLIC OR THOSE MADE WITH A PRINCE~
184 1, LIX | accords are drawn between a Republic and a Prince, it appears
185 1, LIX | more in account, that of a Republic or that of a Prince. In
186 1, LIX | either by a Prince or by a Republic: I believe that when fear
187 1, LIX | more humanely employed by a Republic and with less injury, than
188 1, LIX | faith. And if in either a Republic or a Prince it is found
189 1, LIX | faith to be broken by a Republic; as was that proceeding
190 1, LX | of History that the Roman Republic, after the Consulship came
191 2, I | sustained. For if no other Republic will ever be found which
192 2, I | had, then I note that no Republic will ever be found which
193 2, I | that the ruin of the Roman Republic would have ensued.~But however
194 2, I | world either a Prince or a Republic that could, by itself or
195 2, II | usefulness would result to the Republic but only to be himself;
196 2, II | that of being subject to a Republic: the one, because it is
197 2, II | because the final aim of a Republic is to enervate and weaken (
198 2, III | founder of the Spartan Republic, thinking that nothing could
199 2, III | together, ordered that in that Republic of his only leather money
200 2, III | sustain a big branch. A small Republic, therefore, cannot conquer
201 2, IV | only by the Romans; and a Republic which wants to aggrandize
202 2, IV | acquisitions as does a single Republic which hopes to enjoy it
203 2, VIII | ambitions of Princes or of a Republic that seek to extend their
204 2, VIII | each. For to a Prince or a Republic that assaults a province,
205 2, XV | to every Prince and every Republic; for words are not made
206 2, XV | damage and shame to our Republic: And this will always happen
207 2, XV | the evil that results to a Republic from this weakness, none
208 2, XVIII | if it came from a Roman Republic and from so many excellent
209 2, XIX | these are the ways to make a Republic great and to acquire Empire.
210 2, XIX | means are the ruin of a Republic; and they would place a

214 2, XX | BROUGHT TO THAT PRINCE OR THAT REPUBLIC WHICH AVAILS ITSELF OF AUXILIARY
215 2, XX | those which a Prince or a Republic send to your aid, captained
216 2, XX | because that Prince or that Republic which calls them to their

218 2, XX | And an ambitious Prince or Republic cannot have a greater opportunity
219 2, XXIII | states to which a Prince or a Republic can be reduced is to come
220 2, XXIII | was said above. For that Republic or that Prince which should
221 2, XXIII | increase the power of the Roman Republic by accepting those whom
222 2, XXIII | be of little honor to the Republic to destroy her, as it would
223 2, XXIV | that that Prince or that Republic which is afraid of its subjects
224 2, XXIV | because of that Prince or that Republic have the fortresses, which (
225 2, XXIV | fortresses, or you, a Prince or a Republic, want to keep a City in
226 2, XXV | disunity within the Roman Republic between the Plebs and the
227 2, XXV | matters) did not come to the Republic of Florence with other arts
228 2, XXVI | and good Governors of a Republic, therefore, have to take
229 2, XXVII | conquered all the Orient, the Republic of Tyre (noble and powerful

234 2, XXX | happened with any other Republic.~And among the other signs
235 3, I | TO WANT THAT A SECT OR A REPUBLIC EXIST FOR LONG, IT IS NECESSARY
236 3, I | him all the burden of this Republic.~It is necessary, therefore, (
237 3, I | that returned the Roman Republic back to its [original] principles
238 3, I | as a Sect, or Kingdom, or Republic, than to restore it to that
239 3, III | of State, either from a Republic to a Tyranny, or from a
240 3, III | or from a Tyranny to a Republic, a memorable execution against
241 3, III | difficult thing to save a republic, so it is difficult to save
242 3, VI | This is understood in a Republic which is partly corrupted;
243 3, VI | advising that Prince or that Republic against whom there had been
244 3, VI | them. Nor can a Prince or a Republic who want, for their own
245 3, VI | have time, the [Prince] or [Republic] will have time to castigate
246 3, VIII | HE WHO WANTS TO ALTER A REPUBLIC OUGHT TO CONSIDER ITS CONDITION~
247 3, VIII | Citizen cannot work evil in a Republic which is not corrupt, this
248 3, VIII | the Institutions of this Republic as much as this, seeing
249 3, VIII | to assume authority in a Republic, and install there a bad
250 3, VIII | therefore the Citizens in a Republic who attempt an enterprise
251 3, IX | the Roman People, and that Republic being almost deprived of
252 3, IX | changed. But being born in a Republic where Citizens and dispositions
253 3, IX | From this it happens that a Republic has a greater vitality and
254 3, IX | the institutions of the Republic not changing with the times,
255 3, IX | changes] arrive later [in a Republic] because they suffer more
256 3, IX | will come when the whole Republic will be unsettled, so that
257 3, XI | time before corrupted that Republic which was not corrupted.
258 3, XIII | recognized that the Roman Republic grew more from the virtu
259 3, XIII | preserve that province for the Republic. So that, everything considered,
260 3, XVI | great men are neglected in a Republic in times of peace; for through
261 3, XVI | shows that the Athenian Republic having become superior in
262 3, XVI | endeavor to disturb the Republic by setting new wars in motion
263 3, XVI | particular citizen. From which a Republic ought to guard itself, as
264 3, XVII | GOVERNMENT OF IMPORTANCE~A Republic ought to take great care
265 3, XVII | to establish a perpetual Republic, because in a thousand unforeseen
266 3, XIX | RULING A MULTITUDE~The Roman Republic was disturbed by the enmity
267 3, XXI | any other enemy which that Republic ever had. So that while
268 3, XXII | enemy and in favor of the Republic, as well as in their own
269 3, XXII | prudent man, that to hold a Republic by violence it must be necessary
270 3, XXII | and which are useful in a Republic as it brings her back to
271 3, XXII | ancient virtu. And if one Republic should be so fortunate as
272 3, XXII | lives under the laws of a Republic, I believe the procedure
273 3, XXII | useful or of more value in a Republic, as it does not lack usefulness
274 3, XXII | history of the Venetian Republic, it is to be read that when
275 3, XXIV | proceedings of the Roman Republic is considered well, two
276 3, XXIV | the dissolution of that Republic: the one was the contentions
277 3, XXIV | which in time ruined that Republic.~The first to whom the Command
278 3, XXV | which is established in a republic is that its Citizens are
279 3, XXV | in what peril the Roman Republic found itself. He put on
280 3, XXV | the happy times of that Republic, when a citizen who had
281 3, XXVI | disgrace their State or Republic; as happened to the Ardeans,
282 3, XVII | power and courage, a weak Republic does not know how to accomplish
283 3, XVII | impossible for a Prince or a Republic to maintain both old parties.
284 3, XVII | it is a government of a Republic, there is no better way
285 3, XVII | of necessity keeps your Republic divided. And Biondo [the
286 3, XXVIII | and very dangerous to a Republic if not corrected at the
287 3, XXVIII | more detail, I say that a Republic cannot exist without Citizens
288 3, XXVIII | regulate this thing, it [the Republic] needs to be so organized,
289 3, XXVIII | the laws. A well organized Republic ought, therefore, to open
290 3, XXVIII | impunity, it is apt to ruin a Republic, as, with that as an example,

293 3, XXXI | of the many who live in a Republic, and who will perfect themselves
294 3, XXXIII | our ancestors made this Republic great. For in these little
295 3, XXXIV | it. Men who are born in a Republic ought, therefore, to adopt
296 3, XXXIV | to obtain honors in their Republic, but is also necessary for
297 3, XXXIV | yet the good organizers of Republic have arranged that, when
298 3, XXXV | that those who counsel a Republic and those who counsel a
299 3, XXXV | the Prince or to the City [Republic] without regard [to the
