From the diversity of readings and interpretations of The Ideas of Maquiavel, this research seeks to bring us closer to the real purposes housed in his works, mainly in his history of Florence. Thus, it is intended to identify the elements that order the republic well in the author's wishes. In this way, we will investigate here issues of great relevance and extensive critical content, starting from civil disagreements, his studies in Maquiavel and their different readings. In addition, we will study the opposition of moods in the composition of the conflict, its variations and consequences, as well as the benefit, placed in the work, related to the preposition of laws in the conduct of the government of cities, to the virtue of great men or political groups respectively.
