Niccolò Machiavelli should be considered under the fall. His views about how a good leader does not always have to do a good deeds as long as his people are shown the proper way show how he can neglect morals for a greater good. Although his thoughts where shown to be more under redemption, his methods of the people he wrote about in his book the prince did not fallow moral code leading to the fall. Because he did not believe in the wellness of man but the wellness of the state over man his views where not that of an individual being more important than the greater good. When a person does not get his needs met the strength of that man’s community suffers leading his views to be wrong. He should be places under the fall because of the things he values in a proper leader. If a country is ruled under a iron fist then it is bound to decline in the long run leading his views to be placed under the fall.

    I like what you have to say about leadership. I went to Romania a few years ago and saw the affects of leader and his “iron fist”. It’s interesting to see what happens when we don’t consider our moral obligations in decision making
