Chapter 9 of Niccollo Machiavelli’s text ‘concerning a civil principality,’ shows a great understanding and a simple way of explaining, the idea’s and concerns following around the subject. The text was highly informative, cutting any irrelevant historical sources which would have unnecessarily complicated the text itself and limit our understanding of the topic itself. It share information about the forms of principality and how it may come to be, giving us more understanding therefore avoiding being too vague and summarised.
