Management Assignment Help Compose an expository essay of approximately 750 words that considers how one or more of Machiavelli’s chapters (16, 17, 18) could guide policy in the governing of a modern nation (United States or other) at this current time. It does not have to reflect your personal opinion on government or presume that the approach would be successful. The essay should make regular reference to specific passages from The Prince and cite one or more relevant contemporary issues in governing. Since the paper is short, do not try and overextend your reach that will result in superficial examples and generalizations. Rather, pick an important, but focused issue and provide detailed examples.

Chapter 17 = XVII
