, as a rule, men will accept no new law altering the institutions of their State, unless the necessity for such a change be demonstrated; and since this necessity cannot arise without danger, the State may easily be overthrown before the new order of things is established.

An excellent work that depicts premodern politics on the eve of the end of
the medieval period and the beginning of The Renaissance .
Basically: If you watched Game of Thrones or the Godfather , you know how things are. But this work is important for further analysis using historical realities from classical antiquity to Machiavelli's time , for his analysis and experience are indeed insightful into how power is obtained and maintained without ending up like say, Ned stark and Goffery.
