Niccolo Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 - June 21, 1527) is considered the father of modern political thought. His famous work "The Prince" was his thoughts on the monarchy and how a regent can keep his realm. His "Discourse on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy" is his thoughts about republics.

Machiavelli was a political philosopher, playwright, musician and poet...He kicked out the Medici, was in charge of "citizen soldiers". He was kicked out of his office, tortured on the rack, released. He retired, writing the "The Prince" [about realist political theories] and "Discourses on Livy" [republicanism] on the other hand.
It is strange, he was such a learned man and all that, yet the term "Machiavellian" conjures up torturing and cruelty.

Wrote the Prince, a treatise about how to politically deal with enemies often times cleverly and deceptively and govern people I believe. That's where people use the term "Machiavellian" as in that was a very "Machiavellian" move meaning you did something under-handed through clever manipulation or deception.

He believed that most people could not think for themselves, therefore had to be told what to do.
I think you prove his point.
Buck against the system. Learn something for yourself and do the research. This is a major historical figure in world history.

I'm sure he believed in using encyclopedias.
