Abstract
This paper discusses how Elizabeth I, who was seen as "good Queen Bess," was a skilled ruler and often applied principles which were distinctly Machiavellian in their character. The paper describes examples from her reign that show her use of Machiavellian principles and their success and then looks at all aspects of Queen Elizabeth's reign from military and political to social.
From the Paper
"All the while, Elizabeth managed to maintain a court that became the flower of the kingdom. At her court, poets and playwrights, most notably William Shakespeare, brought the language and wit of England to its greatest flowering. (Ridley 330-31) While Machiavelli did not specifically address the usefulness of such arts in The Prince, he was well aware of the power of quality drama. He had written one of the foremost Italian Renaissance comedies, La Mandragola, and while the play is harsher and more unforgiving that Shakespeare's comedies, Machiavelli's command of the form suggests that had he been in England during this period, he would have been quite at home in the court of Queen Elizabeth, recognizing in her dealing with political problems someone who followed his principles, whether knowingly or not, and who understood his taste for fine language."

Abstract
This paper outlines the five major filtering software products, and conducts a discussion of their pros and cons. The paper assesses how, when, or even if these filters should be utilized in schools or public libraries. The paper also attempts to answer whether filtering is unconstitutional censoring; whether public institutions have the right -- or the duty -- to filter; whether the companies that produce filtering software are truly objective; and whether there are better ways to keep minors from accessing adult material.

From the Paper
"Today's internet provides access for all kinds of information, from useful to salacious. Access is available to anyone with the knowledge of how to use a computer. Some of the information available for mature audiences in various web sites ought to be restricted to adults. There are five major software suppliers of filters that block unwanted information and make it unavailable to children. The problems of installing such filtering software in public locations, such as schools and libraries has brought a spirited defense of First Amendment rights. The problems are not that materials might be "censored" and unavailable to minors,. But who should do the filtering. The government has passed a "Communications Decency Act". However, the on-going arguments to be presented in the body of this research paper is whether the government has a right (or the power) to censor materials that should, properly, be the responsibility of individual parents."
