Deeply Misguided Politicians and Royal Prudence
The writer argues that great princes, even if arbitrary, will safeguard rights and avoid contriving to end liberties. In contrast, a shallow monarch surrounded by greedy counsellors can ruin freedoms, corrupt representatives, and let the crown clash with the people’s rights, risking loss of liberty for power.
