Hmm. I think the idea of republicanism goes back to Ancient Rome.
Machiavelli, in The Prince, often seemed to prefer the idea of a republican state.
And the writers of the US constitution overtly declared that they admired Machiavelli's advice on Republican statecraft. The constitution leaves lots of room for Machiavellian tactics by the most powerful, and insufficient means to block or limit them.
