In Machiavelli`s opininon state was supposed to be as relationship form between state and people ,which is based on fear and love.State is considered to be very strong if it doesn`t cause any hatred amoung the people ,any conspiracies,because this can destroy the state.Machiavelli divides all states as republics or monocratic states,but still the best governing form in Machiavelli`s opinion is republic.He saw republic as a result and as a medium ,which coordinates aspirations and interests of struggling social groups.In each republic there are always two directions,first one is people,the second are higher classes,laws are created basing on this division.
The philospher Franco Burgersdijk was famous for his aristocratic idea,logics.political and moral thoughts,he was interested in the question whether it possible to maintain an eternal peace or not,and he thought that the only possible way for it World`s empire(Imperium Oecumenicum),and one of the obligatory aspects of this empire should be religious peace,and the only thing that was necessary for such an empire was that South kings of German Empire would agree Prince-Electors,to put up end to a religious partnership,the Universal religion should become Christian,and this religion cannot suffer from conflicts between the tribes,so consensus is required,and all these conflicts should be immediately ended.
