Why does machiavelli think that he is fit to offer advice to princes?

the church governed the society after the empire fell.   constantine took charge of rome and ended the confusion which had over religion and made christianity as the only religion and that started ruling the roman empire. he also divided the empire into two and fortified the eastern part.   he ruled the eastern part.

the circumstances that justified roosevelt´s faith in george curry´s honesty, courage and loyalty were that he served under roosevelt´s rough riders during the spanish-american war and fought in the philippines.   in 1904 theodore roosevelt asked curry to accept an appointment as governor of isabela province (philippines); afterwards served in samar province(philippines) and upon returning to the united states he baecame governor of new mexico territory.
