In an article titled: Niccol Machiavelli: Adviser of Princes, Phillip J. Kain discusses some of the pertinent arguments presented by Machiavelli on the need for a new Prince to learn to embrace evil if the need arises. He states that, For Machiavelli, one must do this evil, it is necessary, but it is still evil. It is justified perhaps in a political sense; it is what the prince must do. But it is not morally justified. It does not cease to be evil. It does not become good (Kain, 1995, p 43, italics in the original). In the context of ethics and accountability, unpack this quotation and use practical examples to demonstrate your understanding of the same.
