Detailed explanation-1: -Another important ancient Greek concept that influenced the formation of the United States government was the written constitution. Aristotle, or possibly one of his students, compiled and recorded The Constitution of the Athenians and the laws of many other Greek city-states.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main idea of Aristotle’s politics is that government exists to promote and foster virtue in a way that leads to the good life of its citizens. Virtuous citizens are prepared to live together under common laws and contribute to their community.
Detailed explanation-3: -The philosophical work Ethics by Aristotle is said to be his most influential work. One of the first to categorize political systems was him. Aristotle classified governments into a monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy. He divided law into three categories as well: natural law, human law, and divine law.
Detailed explanation-4: -Power (or being-in-potency or potency, as it is more typically called by Aristotelians) has real being, but stands between nothingness and being-in-act. For example, a match has the potency to light on fire if struck. The potencies a thing has are grounded in its actualities.
