to the former leaders, and if a leader is chosen by such quality, then the union turns into a monarchy. However, the monarchy can be quickly turned into a tyranny, if the newly elected leader is less of the quality than the previous leader. Then the people of the higher class would end the tyranny, and the constitution would be just again under the lead of the aristocrats. But, as it did with the monarchy, the sons of the aristocrats may result in the constitutional change to the oligarchy. If…

According to some commentators, common sense is the equivalent of one’s moral powers (Tocqueville, 213). However, common sense has been described as part of human moral sensibilities and affections with an inherent ability to reason freely. In other words, common sense is an all-inclusive faculty of the mind that gives people the power to make a decision between right and wrong in any prevailing situation (Paine). Through common sense, it was believed that significant social as well as political…

I say this with confidence as all of the countries that I have observed, it seems to be the case that a strong government can hold a nation together.

For him, human being are power seekers and despotic and all simple forms of government, kingship, aristocracy and democracy are unstable. He explains his view through the anacyclosis. According to this theory, monarchy first arises with wise and earned kingship and develops into tyranny, which is the rule of one person’s self interest. This is replaced through revolution by aristocracy, the rule of the best men in public interest. Over time it also degenerates…

have experienced numerous forms of government ranging from a constitutional oligarchy, monarchy to democracy over the course of their history. They transitioned from lowly slaves and serfs who were born into their casts, to a free people elected into office. In the best of times, they were given land and stature while in the worst, vengeance, banishment and war. The Athenian embracement of democracy over monarchy can be attributed to the tyranny experienced under the rule of Pisistratus. The…

from the executive. The primary limitation set to this group is that it have an overseer. Given these rules, it would be my best guess that Locke’s preferred style of government would be something similar to England’s old system: a monarchy with a parliament. The Monarchy would have a life-long term and Parliament would have shorter terms (as to comply with Locke’s fifth rule). Rousseau uses the same three types of government, but does not think one is the “best” of all, but some are suited to…

There was no longer a place for patrimonial ideas, the state as the property of the ruler. In the days of Richelieu, the first minister of king Louis XIII,(1585 -1642) and especially Louis XIV (1643-1715), the absolute monarchy attained the bloom. The views of Armand Jean du Plessis Richelieu, who vowed "to make the…

In Plato’s Republic, the ideal state is divided into three classes: the guardians, the soldiers, and the common people. Even though the guardians are the smallest group, they play the most significant part in this system. The political power is entirely concentrated in their hands. Initially, the guardians are chosen by a legislator, and from later on the power is inherited, but in some cases, the brightest children from other classes may be promoted. The rulers must also be philosophers. What…

An elementary level of local self-governments was operative in the Vedic times. With the passage of time, the nature, character and role of the Local Self Governments have undergone sea changes, so much so that the Panchayat of today owes very little to the local government of the past.
