Niccole Machiavelli life and accomplishments have had the greatest impact on our modern world. One of his accomplishments was his book The Prince,which is one of the most influential works on political power in the western world. Many writers followed prince’s ethics when it came to politics. According to the textbook, “His views on politics have had a profound influence on political leaders who followed.” This was proven when political leaders started to follow his views. Without Machiavelli’s political views and the book The Prince, Political power may not have as many followers or be as strong as it is today.
