Imoprant political advisors of the renaissance

 

             Three of the most important political advisors of the renaissance were Patrarch, Machiavelli, .
             and Richelieu. They advised some of the greatest rulers of all time. Each man had a personal .
             agenda for their country as well as a unique plan on how to achieve their goals. They all gave .
             advice from a different view point. Patriarch was a humanist in the most traditional sense and yet .
             still had an open mind. While Machiavelli was also a humanist, he was not a traditionalist and .
             stepped outside the boundaries of convention and used contemporary history as his primary .
             subject and source of information. Richelieu on the other hand, had a very different approach. He .
             thought absolutism was the way to success. Even with all of these differences, their goal was the .
             same. They wanted their ruler to be a dominate world force. In this essay we will explore each .

             the subjects, poor and wealthy alike. The final major issue that they agreed on was power. Each .

             another matter entirely.
             Patriarch felt as though power was best gained through love. He believed that in order to be .
             loved you must love. He thought that subjects who loved their ruler would be more likely to obey .
             the laws and commands of the state. Machiavelli felt the ruler should keep the power completely .
             to himself. He advised that only a man, who is strong, could impose order on the people. He .
