Who was Machiavelli and why was he significant in the Florentine Republic?

History
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
4 0
Niccolo Machiavelli was an official in the Florentine Republic from 1498 - 1512, during the years between the reign of the religious reformer Savanarola and the return of the Medici family to power in Florence.  He carried out various diplomatic missions for Florence during those years and had responsibility for Florence's militia.  But perhaps Machiavelli is most significant for his political writings, <em>The Prince </em>and <em>Discourses on Livy.</em>

Lorenzo de'Medici had ruled Florence for decades in a way that was popular. After Lorenzo's death in 1492, Dominican preacher Savonarola ran the city as a religious regime. Machiavelli's service in government occurred after Savonarola fell from power and was executed, and Florence operated very much as a republic.  When the Medici family again seized power in Florence in 1512, Machiavelli lost his government post.  He also was accused of conspiracy (a false charge). He was imprisoned and tortured, but after a few weeks was released.  In exile from Florence, Machiavelli wrote <em>The Prince </em>as a way of praising the style of rule of princes like the Medici, in hopes of gaining favor with the new rulers of Florence.  That didn't work, but <em>The Prince </em>has become a famous treatise in the field of political science. Machiavelli also wrote a lengthier work that extolled the virtues of a republic (closer to his own true views), <em>Discourses on Livy.</em>

How could binding arbitration settle or prevent a sit-down strike?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

binding arbitration  would end unrestricted economies all through a large part of the economy. Government authorities could direct wages and working conditions to any organization sufficiently disastrous to be coordinated.

binding arbitration  would do the same amount of harm to laborers' privileges. They would lose all resources as of now accessible to them. Endorsers would lose their entitlement to decide on sanctioning the agreement they should work under, and they couldn't strike over the last agreement, regardless of how awful it is. Restricting intervention gives laborers an agreement if they like it.

binding arbitration  could likewise cost laborers their annuities. Associations are probably going to press the mediator to constrain recently coordinated specialists to join a multi-manager association benefits plan, and in enterprises where these plans are normal, the judge would almost certainly concur.

Explanation:

With organization enrollment in consistent decay, Coordinated Work faces a decision. It can accomplish the difficult work important to shed the New Arrangement model that actually shapes its obsolete approach and adjust to the present economy. Or on the other hand it can utilize its political muscle and get Congress to make it simpler to constrain laborers to join.
