Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze how Niccolò Machiavelli conceptualizes the people in the Discorsi sopra prima deca di Tito Livio. For this purpose, in first place, we will sequentially restore the mentions on people that are linked to the passions. In second place, we will focus on the treatment of the different passions (hate, love, fear and ambition). Finally, we will illuminate what kind of people are at stake and how the people intervene in the construction of the political bond.
