Machiavelli’s State as a Punishment for the Violence of the Law in the Context of Human Animal Instinct

In order to amend the philosophical, political and legal understanding of that personality who managed to study and structure the monumental work of the state "The Prince" so nicely, it is necessary to understand what subject content there is on which the academic life was mined and grown and Machiavelli's philosophy. The latter being one of the brightest minds in the field of the study of the state and, to understand it, it is necessary to study the cultural and intellectual environment, the product of which was our Philosopher. Viewed in this context, it is necessary to understand the European city of Florence, the main city-state of the Renaissance, where Machiavelli was born. This should be accompanied by the study of the city-state of Firenze, in relation to other Italian states with which it had extensive and very intense relations. While, on the other hand, the nature and form of government of the state of Florence, accompanied by the reformers of the state constitution, who inherited it, but remained in their ideas and views until the time of the diocese of the Republic, cannot be left without attention. On the other hand, the study of the non-Italian states, which were in a state of competition with Florence, should be looked at carefully.
