The Pros And Cons Of A Constitutional Monarchy

164 Words1 Pages
Today’s what is considered a constitutional monarchy was the best form of government as viewed by Aristotle. As given in the textbook, this form of government, known as the polity, was that which provided what was the majority interest and therefore gave every citizen a voice in the matter of government. In other words, citizens rule and in turn are ruled. This means of popular sovereignty gives citizens the right to choose their laws and their leader, while still having protection of their rights through some sort of constitution. On the opposing view, Aristotle saw democracy as the worst form of government because it was polity’s corrupt counterpart in which the rule of the government and of the people were “in the interests of themselves.”
