Read the following selection from Aristotle’s The Politics.

First let us consider what is the purpose of a state and how many forms of government
there are by which human society is regulated. We have already said, earlier in this
treatise . . . that man is by nature a political animal. And therefore men, even when they
do not require one another’s help, desire to live together all the same, and are in fact
brought together by their common interest . . . Well-being is certainly the chief end of
individuals and of states . . .

The conclusion is evident: governments which have a regard to the common interest are
constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms;
but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted
forms. For they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of free men . . .

We call that form of government in which one rules, and which regards, the common
interest, kingship or royalty; that in which more than one, but not many, rule, aristocracy.
It is so called, either because the rulers are the best men, or because they have at heart the
best interest of the state and of the citizens. But when the citizens at large administer the
state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name –
constitutional government . . .

Of the above-mentioned forms, the perversions are as follows: of royalty, tyranny; of

aristocracy, oligarchy; of constitutional government, democracy. For tyranny is a kind of
monarchy which has in view the interest of the monarch only; oligarchy has in view the
interst of the wealthy; democracy, of the needy; none of them the common good of all.

Using this excerpt, answer the following questions.

16. In this form of government, there is more than one person who is the ruler.
a. kingship or royalty
b. aristocracy
c. constitutional government
d. tyranny

17. Which of the following does Aristotle describe as the corrupt form of aristocracy?
a. tyranny
b. oligarchy
c. monarchy
d. democracy

18. What does Aristotle mean when he states that “man is by nature a political animal”?
a. man likes power
b. man likes to run for election
c. man seeks association with other people
d. man prefers to be left alone

19. According to this excerpt, what is the focus of democracy?

a. the interests of the monarch
b. the interests of the wealthy
c. the interests of those in power
d. the interests of the needy
