Abstract

This paper emphasizes the importance of the law and lawgiving in Machiavelli’s writings. It extracts legal principles from Il Principe and the Discorsi and places them in the context of Machiavelli’s political and historical theory.

Sections of this paper derive from Holler (2007a, b, c). The author would like to thank Matthew Braham, Vikas Kumar and the editors of this volume for helpful comments.
