Abstract or Introduction
Plato’s "Republic" and Machiavelli’s "The Prince" have very different ideas about morality and leadership of a community. Plato asserts that all members of a community ought to be educated and groomed toward a specific occupation, including leaders, by their innate talents and qualities. Machiavelli says that leaders are either born into a family of leaders or they are new. New leaders are of two types, either completely new or the leader of another country that was annexed by the leader. The subject of morality is gone into in depth by Plato. Machiavelli only considers morality in the context of whether it is necessary to leadership.
