Obtaining and Maintaining Political Power in Machiavelli's The Prince

In 1513, Niccoló Machiavelli wrote a political paper that provides various ways the prince can acquire and maintain his political power. This literary and artistic work caused many controversies, which were banned by Pope Clement VIII later, as it infringed upon the ordinary traditional ethics of the day. According to Machiavelli, the prince should only care about power and the way it leads to political success. Modern scholars feel that it is not written as a practical guide to the way this book dominates, but rather as a more ironic work on how to rule the country.
