"The royal power is absolute. … The king is not responsible to anyone on earth for his acts. Without this absolute authority, the king could neither do good, nor prevent evil. His power must be such that no one can hope to escape him. … The king is not a private person. He belongs to the public. The will of the people is included in his will. As all perfection and all strength are united in God, so all power of the individual subjects is united in the person of the king." —Bishop Jacques Louis Bossuet, "Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Scripture"

Document #4

"From this the question arises whether it is better to be loved more than feared, or feared more than loved. The reply is, that one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved … for it may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, … anxious to avoid danger, and greedy. … Men find it easier to attack one who makes himself loved than one who makes himself feared. … A prince … must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves. … Therefore, a wise ruler ought not keep his word when by so doing it would be against his interest. … If men were all good, this [rule] would not be a good one; but as they are bad, and would not be honest with you, so you are not bound to keep your word with them. …" —Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince (1513)
