Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Plato believed that democracy is more concerned with the money it can accumulate over the actual help it can render to the people. Also, Democracy has no preference or priority. He believes that aristocracy is the most ideal form of government

On the other hand, Aristotle believed that democracy has its flaws. He however considered democracy as a form of anarchic mob rule. Again, he believed that a form of "constitutional democracy is the most ideal"
