Tyranny is a kind of monarchy which has in view the interest of the monarch only oligarchy has in view the interest of the wealthy democracy, of the needy: none of them the common good of all. ![]() The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, or the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest but governments which rule with a view to the private interest, whether to the one, or the few, or of the many, are perversions. Those in the first row he referred to as “true forms” of government, while those in the second row were the “defective and perverted forms” of the first three. ![]() ![]() Forms of GovernmentĪristotle argued that there were six general ways in which societies could be organized under political rule, depending on who ruled, and for whom they ruled.

In these two masterly works, the great historians of America’s Revolutionary era, Gordon S. America could have very easily looked like a bigger, more dysfunctional European Union. For the 13 states at the time of the Revolution - mini-nations that had their own currencies, their own foreign policies, their own navies - the quest for independence was not just freedom from an imperial Britain, but independence from one another. In fact, the path to the nation as we know it, with a powerful executive, a representative legislature and an independent judiciary, was highly implausible. There was nothing inevitable about the creation of the United States - the United States, singular, that is, a continental nation-state with a central government, rather than these United States, plural, a collection of small, quarrelsome quasi republics connected by a weak treaty of friendship.

Requesting HumilityĬameron adds that when you’re denied what you ask for in prayer or don’t receive the answer you want, you must resist the urge to become resentful, disappointed, or frustrated. While making personal requests to God is most common, Cameron explains that asking God for humility and help with bad moods will also strengthen your spirituality and creativity. Similar to Cameron’s recommendation to ask a question to the page and write the response that you hear, you’re letting God’s guidance flow through you without overthinking it. Go about your business for an hour or so and randomly come back to the paper, read the question, and write your immediate response.
