  1. Time: My research has shown a minimal influence on time from Machiavelli. He perhaps had an influence on the time of Medici power.


    Economy: Machiavelli gave small ideas on how to spend money in “The Prince”.


    Geography: Machiavelli died at the start of the age of exploration, and yet his theories could be applied to a less “godly” form of government, now that it was known there were other countries.


    Beliefs: His beliefs were so strong that he wrote a book on politics (The Prince).


    Values: Machiavelli held great value in success of the state and leaders that are desirable, by any means necessary.


    Knowledge: Machiavelli made a huge advancement in the knowledge of Political Sciences. He studied patterns and common attributes among great leaders.


    Society: The society at his time was very strict. Hierarchy was still strong in Italy, and his beliefs were sometimes contrary to those taught by the church.
