A constitutional republic is a "polity" to put into terms from Aristotle’s Politics.
Aristotle studied 150 different constitutions.
Under the great philosopher's classifications, there are three basic virtuous forms of government and three deviant forms.
Three Virtuous Forms:
Monarchy
Aristocracy
Polity
Three Deviant Forms:
Tyranny
Oligarchy
Democracy
This is where it gets a bit confusing. A polity (a virtuous government) is formed by mixing the three deviant forms of government (tyranny, oligarchy, and democracy) into one system. The individual (tyranny), the small groups (oligarchs), and the majority (democracy) have both shared, separated powers and perfectly balanced powers to form an ideal polity. However, Aristotle noted that nothing in our reality is perfect, and governments or constitutions tend to error towards being tyrannical, oligarchic, or democratic in some way.
Thank you for sharing!
Women are wonderful of course, but so long as they (>51% of the population) vote, tyranny is inevitable:
Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies and feminine democracies give way to tyranny. -Aristotle
Where can I get the T shirt "I am The Science"?
YES, WHERE?!?
yes, where can we purchase goods from these individuals who are clearly not just in it for nihilistic financial gain?
@@consumerextraordinaire8209 Cry normie.
Will someone clue me in to what any of this has to do with lifting weights?
The weaker the individual, the further left they tend to vote as a result of feeling vulnerable and wishing to be taken care of. One will likely notice, the stronger they become, the more they prioritize liberty as our forefathers did, and as a result vote to keep government as small as possible, so as to perform only its most basic functions as our forefathers prescribed.
The following quote elucidates this well:
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Ben Franklin
@@skanda1832 There’s too many logical fallacies to unpack there to both fit into RUclips’s character constraints and my schedule. So I’ll just leave you with the following to der de der your 0wN r3sEarCh on: Vasily Alekseyev, Yuri Vlasov, Leonid Taranenko
@@skanda1832 and did you mean ‘Ben Franklin’? Can’t even spell his name right and you’re dropping water thick quotes, a couple hundred years past expiration lmao
@@consumerextraordinaire8209 Sorry for the typo. Thank you for pointing it out. It’s been corrected.
@@skanda1832 What's your definition of weak? How much an individual is capable of lifting?
Gentlemen , if you don't like our country ....
Oh, man. August Pinochet was not at all that bad! Guys, tell that to the thousand of mother of desaparecidos. You really have some big blind spots.
Thousands, that’s it? How many innocent people have been killed under any random US president in the last 30 years? Pinochet was a saint compared to any of them.
got to admit though the other guy HAS a hitleresque hairstyle
Gee, I wonder why
Good. He was awesome.
