Abstract

The republican theory of Machiavelli was built from multiple sources, ideas andauthors, among which the Roman historian Tito Livio stands out. Machiavelli wasessentially based on it, because one of the most important characteristics of hismethod of political analysis is the rescue of the teachings of history.One of the basic principles of Machiavelli’s republican theory is his inclinationfor a mixed government, a government in which all social sectors of the population participate, that is, elites and masses, or in their own terms, optimates and people.The articulation of the magistracies according to these principles of representation, as well as other characteristics of institutional design that Machiavelli extracted and deduced from the historical account of Tito Livio, is fundamental for his conception of a solid republican government.
