1-[Power and Authority]: The primary source material “Life of Themistocles (Links to an external site.)” and “Renaissance Princes” both relate some aspects of political power and authority, especially how it is or should be portrayed to those over whom they have authority. How do these sources portray an individual’s or community’s relationship to political power? Is there something about the relationship between those with power to those they have authority over that remained constant in these portrayals?

• Choose only ONE of the authors in the “Renaissance Prince (Links to an external site.)” collection: Machiavelli OR Erasmus OR Castiglione
