  2. Machiavelli had a harsh reputation which came from his most popular piece The Prince. He often pushed his views of politics in many ways. Most of which are often not agreed with in today's society. He worked for Emperor Maximilian during the Renaissance era. Most of his views or teachings paved the way for today's political science, which he is thought to be the father of.
