CASTILLO VEGAS, Jesús Luis. Ciudadanía y milicia en el republicanismo florentino. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2009, n.37, pp.135-160. ISSN 0188-6649.
The creation of a citizen militia is a characteristic pretension of the Renaissance republicanism. The republic cannot lack defense (already knows the out-come of the "unarmed prophets" nor defend themselves with mercenary armies. For Machiavelli, Guicciardini or Giannotti the citizen has a set of virtues, like austerity, discipline, patriotism or bravery, that make him the best soldier. Therefore, the Republican regime needs the citizens to be soldiers, because the military discipline itself is a means necessary to forge such civic virtues without which no republic can survive.
