Political History of the Florentine Institutions
View through CrossRef
The history explored in this chapter focused on the Florentine Histories allows us to understand the concepts and proposals for the political reform of Florence that Machiavelli advanced in the Discursus and the Minuta and which were different to any constitution in the past. Analysing the struggles that animated Florence from 1215 to 1512, Machiavelli revealed the different constitutions that emerged from the struggles, struggles that the constitutions partially caused and partially attempted to neutralize. Underlining the defects of the past constitutions of the city, he set out the two main political coordinates around which he constructed his plans for the reform of Florence: the tumults and a new idea of mixture.
