Answer:
Like Polybius, Cicero has suggested three types of government—royalty, aristocracy and democracy. But in each form of government there is the germ of corruption and instability and this leads to the fall of government. Only a mixed form of government is the proper guarantee of stability and corruption-free society.
Cicero proposed that the ideal government "is formed by an equal balancing and blending" of monarchy, democracy, and aristocracy. In this "mixed state," he argued, royalty, the best men, and the common people all should have a role.
