Answer:
To Aristotle, tyranny destroy monarchy, because it “has in view the interest of the monarch only.” To him, tyranny is the arbitrary power of an individual, responsible to no one, which governs, with a view to its own advantage, not to that of its subjects, and therefore against their will. Aristotle believed that tyranny is the “very reverse of a constitution.” He explained that where the laws have no authority, there is no constitution. The law ought to be supreme over all. Aristotle stressed that these laws must uphold just principles, such that true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and different forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle held views similar to Plato’s about the dangers of democracy and oligarchy. He feared that both pitted the rich against the poor. But he recognized that these types of governments took many forms. The worst were those without the rule of law. In democracies without law, demagogues (leaders appealing to emotions) took over. For in democracies where the laws are not supreme, demagogues spring up, his sort of democracy is what tyranny is to other forms of monarchy. The spirit of both is the same, and they alike exercise a despotic rule over the better citizens.
