Yanıt Açıklaması:

Aristotle classified the governmental types on two dimensions: The first dimension was the rightness and aim of the states. According to this measure, states were classified as being right or wrong. The second dimension was the number of people who possesses the power. There can be only one single person, there can be a minority, or there can be a majority. Thus there occur six different types: The right single person, or minority, or majority regimes and the wrong single person, or minority, or majority regimes. These types can be listed as follows (Coleman, 2000, p. 214):

  • The government of a single person who aims the common good: Monarchy
  • The government of a minority group who aims the common good: Aristocracy
  • The government of the majority of the people which aims the common good: Politeia
  • The government of a single person who targets the interests of single person: Tyranny
  • The government of a minority group who aims the interests of the rich: Oligarchy
  • The government of the majority of the people aiming the interests of the poor: Democracy
