The Prince, a political composition by Nicolo Machiavelli, was written in 1513.A short composition on how to earn power, create a state, and keep it, The Prince represents Machiavelli's efforts to give a guide for political actions based on the sessions of history and his own incidents as a foreign secretary in Florence. His conviction that politics has its own rules so stunned the readers that the adjectival type of his last name, Machiavellian, came to be used as a synonym for political actions marked by cunning, fraud, or dishonesty. Machiavelli mentioned his composition as De Principatibus (Of Principalities) while writing it, and it circulated in its original copy structure during the 1510s. When Machiavelli died, when it was published in 1532, it carried the title II Principe (The Prince).
