you can choose any of the topics below

Discuss Machiavelli’s ideal prince, who is essentially an amoral pragmatist, in terms of Dante’s morality. Would the sort of behaviors Machiavelli advises be hell-worthy in Dante’s worldview? Be sure to support your response with passages from both works. Think about Chaucer’s “The Knight’s Tale” in terms of Machiavellian pragmatism. Can we see the behavior of Chaucer’s ruler, Theseus, as lining up with Machiavelli’s recommendations for effective governance? Why or why not? Be sure to support your response with passages from both works.

Consider the current political situation in the United States, particularly the way that politicians are behaving during the ongoing election cycle. Choose two specific politicians and create an argument comparing them in terms of how well they fit Machiavelli’s model of an ideal prince. Support your thesis with passages from The Prince and with specific details from these politicians’ careers.

Research Paper Question

The insanity defence at common law was abrogated in Victoria by section 20 of the Crimes (Mental Impairment and Unfitness to be Tried) Act 1997 (Vic) (‘CMIA’). It replaced the insanity defence at common law with a statutory defence of mental impairment, although the common law remains relevant in clarifying the application of concepts within the CMIA. In 2012, the Victorian Law Reform Commission (‘VLRC’) was asked to review the then 15-year-old CMIA, and in 2014 it delivered its report to the Victorian Parliament. One of the changes it recommended was for the defence of mental impairment to be amended by the insertion of a specific definition of ‘mental impairment’, and by replacement of the language in sub-section 20(1) of the CMIA – the existing provision establishing the defence of mental impairment. Although the first of these changes was introduced in the Victorian Parliament in 2016 and approved by the Legislative Assembly in 2017, the Legislative Council has thus far refused to proceed with the changes. The Liberal Nationals claim this is because the proposed definition is wider and will allow more people to avoid criminal trial, while the Greens have concerns about the lack of clarity in the definition of ‘cognitive impairment’ within the proposed definition of mental impairment

In your view of the VLRC’s report: (a) Does the proposed definition create an unacceptable danger of more people being able to avoid the consequences of their criminal behaviour? (b) Does the proposed definition adequately define the term cognitive impairment? (c) Should the language of sub-section 20(1) CMIA be replaced with the language proposed by the VLRC?

In your answer, give reasons for your position with reference – where relevant – to existing law, the VLRC’s report, the legislative and political process surrounding the introduction of the Crimes (Mental Impairment and Unfitness to be Tried) Amendment Bill 2016(Vic), and the legal principles of community protection and criminal responsibility.
