Aristotle

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper discusses Aristotle's ideas regarding democracy. The paper expands on the friendly relationship between master
and slave, founded upon natural principles and explains the way Aristotle constructed his theory of constitutional government. The paper states that all citizens and slaves had to obey the right judgment of the wealthy, influential aristocracy, the ones who knew what was best for the city. The paper contends that political rule was founded on this belief. It also explains that although free people could vote, they were all slaves of some sort, since they depended on the higher will of the aristocracy.
