The+Prince+01

In The Prince Machiavelli discusses his thoughts on how a government should be run. He belives that some men are capable of achiving greatness while some men are going to remain lowly their whole lives. In our society today our country is based off the belief that all men are created equal. In contrast to Machiavelli's ideas America became what it was from people who immigrated out of poverty and came to America seeking a better life. America is also a democracy whereas Machiavelli belives that a monarcy is the best system of government. America started out as a colony under the British monarcy's rule but because of the people America broke away from British rule and became a democracy. This shows that Machiavell's idea that monarcy is the best rule isn't correct.
