his animalistic side, the Monarchist Theory embodies the purpose of political doctrine of realistic and utilitarian values, and the viewpoint of
attaching importance to people has become one of the foundations of the Monarchist Theory, which has been used by many Western politicians, showing its irresistible seductive power. It shows a new philosophical wisdom of Machiavelli.
