First he must stabilize his power in order to build a structures. Machiavelli believed that public and private morality had to be understood as two different things in order to rule well. A ruler must be concerned not only with reputation, but also must be positively willing to act good at all times and finally wrote that kings have to change so the city or empire etc. can change as well.
