Aristotle decided to give titles to differnt forms of governments. In particular he found there are three differnt forms of a ruling system, One Ruler, Council Rule and Rule of the People. He created two sets of each of these, one set called proper forms and another set called perverse forms. They are as follows. Proper Forms:
Monarchy: Mon (One) Archy (Rule)Aristocracy: Aris (Best) Archy (Rule)Polity: Origins of the word Politics
Perverse Forms:
Tyranny: Tyrant RulesOligarchy: (Oli) Rule of the fewDemocracy: The fall of Polity
Monarchs often turned into Tyrants. An Aristocracy would consist of 10-20 Council Rulers, who were less likely to run amuck. However, they are harder to stop then taking down one Tyrant. His Favorite was Polity. However, he was doubtful that this system would ever work. That it would fall into greed, where everyone was out for themselves instead of being a fair and just governing system. So he created a perverse form for it which he called Democracy.
Others later created Democracies off of his findings. Little does everyone know that they are creating the perverse form of Polity. Politics, where all come together and compromise on their ideas. Where fairness is administered for all. The Power is in the people, so no one can ever rule over them. Where all are free and given unalienable rights to live their lives for life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
