We live in a world that is always changing, with kingdoms rising and falling, and with leaders coming and going. They rant, "For the people, for the people," right before they show themselves to be brutal autocrats hungry for power. Power struggles are not a recent phenomenon; rather, they have a long history. Since not everyone is born with the same social and tactical abilities, anyone cannot succeed as an authoritarian king. All philosophers and intellectuals, from Greek philosophy to the Renaissance, addressed the end of the state. They believed that the state's political influence would be utilized for other purposes. All political theorists from Plato, Aristotle, to the Middle Ages (up until the 16th century) had been preoccupied with the fundamental issue of the purpose of the state and had viewed the use of state power as a means to a more important, morally motivated aim. However, Machiavelli had a quite different stance. For him, the end of the state is its ability to exercise power. Meaning that each state must strive to increase its authority. This business will be in a significant deal of trouble if the state fails. As a result, he focused only on strategies that would enable him to gain, hold onto, and grow his power. Knowing and comprehending how a person came to have power may be a crucial component of being able to comprehend why they are unable to hold onto and use that power. Growing older presents more opponents because of the foes you make as you become older. It is also conceivable that the issue has generated public disapproval before he or she even assumed office, which would presumably place this individual at a distinct disadvantage when weighing the advantages and drawbacks of retaining power. This research paper highlights all the possible principles of Machiavelli.
