  1      I, I   |          at the highest good.~Some people think that the qualifications
  2     II, III |            is not the way in which people would speak who had their
  3     II, V   |            artisans, or the common people. The Republic of which Socrates
  4     II, VI  |         directed to two points—the people and the country. But neighboring
  5     II, VI  |       Ephors are selected from the people. Others, however, declare
  6     II, VI  |        given to the better sort of people, who have the larger incomes,
  7     II, VII |      opposite ways. For the common people quarrel about the inequality
  8     II, VIII|            them all elected by the people, that is, by the three classes
  9     II, VIII|           ordinary or even foolish people among ourselves (such is
 10     II, IX  |          are chosen from the whole people, and so the office is apt
 11     II, IX  |            state together; for the people are contented when they
 12     II, IX  |         reward of virtue); and the people, because all are eligible
 13     II, IX  |            Ephors out of the whole people is perfectly right, but
 14     II, X   |      eligible, and the body of the people, having a share in the highest
 15     II, X   |           and not out of the whole people, and the elders out of those
 16     II, X   |           the institution that the people are not discontented at
 17     II, X   |           a party among the common people and their own friends and
 18     II, XI  |           the fact that the common people remain loyal to the constitution
 19     II, XI  |          bring a matter before the people, but when they are not unanimous,
 20     II, XI  |        they are not unanimous, the people decide on such matters as
 21     II, XI  |            elders bring before the people is not only heard but also
 22     II, XI  |       enriching one portion of the people after another by sending
 23     II, XII |         oligarchy, emancipated the people, established the ancient
 24     II, XII |            powerful, to please the people who were now playing the
 25     II, XII |         intended by Solon. For the people, having been instrumental
 26     II, XII |          in Italy and Sicily. Some people attempt to make out that
 27     II, XII |      drunken more often than sober people commit acts of violence.~
 28    III, I   |             For in some states the people are not acknowledged, nor
 29    III, V   |            services. The necessary people are either slaves who minister
 30    III, VI  |        example, in democracies the people are supreme, but in oligarchies,
 31    III, IX  |            on themselves, and most people are bad judges in their
 32    III, X   |        manner, rob and plunder the people—is this just? if so, the
 33    III, XI  |            old answer, that if the people are not utterly degraded,
 34    III, XI  |         states are assigned to the people, for the assembly is supreme
 35    III, XI  |    authority than the few; for the people, and the senate, and the
 36    III, XIII|         rule over them. And if the people are to be supreme because
 37    III, XIV |           of tyrannies because the people are by nature slaves; but
 38    III, XIV |            were benefactors of the people in arts or arms; they either
 39    III, XIV |         privileges, and others the people took from them, until in
 40    III, XV  |            so great as that of the people. The ancients observe this
 41    III, XVII|       constitutional government.~A people who are by nature capable
 42    III, XVII|           kingly government; and a people submitting to be ruled as
 43    III, XVII|          an aristocracy; while the people who are suited for constitutional
 44     IV, III |            poor not. Of the common people, some are husbandmen, and
 45     IV, IV  |           made up of four sorts of people who are absolutely necessary;
 46     IV, IV  |             For both in the common people and in the notables various
 47     IV, IV  |            included; of the common people, one class are husbandmen,
 48     IV, IV  |          the utmost. And since the people are the majority, and the
 49     IV, IV  |      demagogues spring up. For the people becomes a monarch, and is
 50     IV, IV  |            make the decrees of the people override the laws, by referring
 51     IV, IV  |            grow great, because the people have an things in their
 52     IV, IV  |       their hands the votes of the people, who are too ready to listen
 53     IV, IV  |          magistrates say, "Let the people be judges"; the people are
 54     IV, IV  |         the people be judges"; the people are too happy to accept
 55     IV, V   |        education and habits of the people may be administered democratically,
 56     IV, VI  |          they are paid, the common people have the most leisure, for
 57     IV, VIII|          the best of the citizens, people say also of oligarchies
 58     IV, IX  |         man can afford. Again, the people elect to one of the two
 59     IV, XI  |     whether the rich or the common people, transgresses the mean and
 60     IV, XI  |        form may be better for some people.~
 61     IV, XII |           in form with the sort of people who compose it in each case.
 62     IV, XII |        attempting to overreach the people. There comes a time when
 63     IV, XII |     constitution than those of the people.~
 64     IV, XIII|            oligarchies deceive the people are five in number; they
 65     IV, XIII|     considerable middle class; the people were weak in numbers and
 66     IV, XIV |         sort of equality which the people desire. But there are various
 67     IV, XIV |      individuals and not the whole people share in the deliberations
 68     IV, XIV |            example, when the whole people decide about peace and war
 69     IV, XIV |          of democracy in which the people are supreme even over the
 70     IV, XIV |            deliberate together—the people with the notables and the
 71     IV, XIV |          and the notables with the people. It is also a good plan
 72     IV, XIV |           classes; and that if the people greatly exceed in number
 73     IV, XIV |            deliberated; for so the people will have a share in the
 74     IV, XIV |          in oligarchies either the people ought to accept the measures
 75     IV, XV  |           prepare measures for the people in order that they may not
 76     IV, XV  |          extreme form in which the people themselves are always meeting
 77     IV, XVI |   appointing judges from the whole people, and there will be likewise
 78     IV, XVI |            chosen out of the whole people, others out of some, some
 79      V, I   |       themselves and also with the people; but in democracies there
 80      V, I   |        mentioning arises among the people themselves. And we may further
 81      V, III |     notables conspired against the people through fear of the suits
 82      V, III |     expelled by force of arms; the people of Antissa, who had received
 83      V, III |  quarrelled and came to blows; the people of Amphipolis, having received
 84      V, III |  Clazomenae did not agree with the people of the island; and the people
 85      V, III |      people of the island; and the people of Colophon quarrelled with
 86      V, IV  |       quarrel and so split all the people into portions. We learn
 87      V, IV  |           was gained by the common people who served in the fleet,
 88      V, IV  |        democracy. At Syracuse, the people, having been the chief authors
 89      V, IV  |         democracy. At Chalcis, the people, uniting with the notables,
 90      V, IV  |       government. At Ambracia, the people, in like manner, having
 91      V, IV  |             e.g., the rich and the people, are equally balanced, and
 92      V, IV  |          Hundred, who deceived the people by telling them that the
 93      V, IV  |            and, having cheated the people, still endeavored to retain
 94      V, IV  |              2) In other cases the people are persuaded at first,
 95      V, V   |      forward in public stir up the people against them. The truth
 96      V, V   |         engaging and defeating the people, established the oligarchy.
 97      V, V   |            to curry favor with the people, wrong the notables and
 98      V, V   |     progress, the orators lead the people, but their ignorance of
 99      V, V   |         cities were not large, the people dwelt in the fields, busy
100      V, V   |          him the confidence of the people. Changes also take place
101      V, V   |         for office get hold of the people, and contrive at last even
102      V, V   |          tribes, and not the whole people, to elect the magistrates.~
103      V, VI  |          the oligarchs oppress the people, for then anybody is good
104      V, VI  |           eldest was admitted. The people took advantage of the quarrel,
105      V, VI  |          by the Basilidae, but the people took offense at the narrowness
106      V, VI  |        play the demagogue with the people. This was the case at Larissa,
107      V, VI  |        endeavored to gain over the people because they were elected
108      V, VI  |          the heavy-armed or by the people, although they may be required
109      V, VI  |          the oligarchs flatter the people in order to obtain a decision
110      V, VI  |           compelled to call in the people. Changes in the oligarchy
111      V, VI  |            being able to trust the people, the oligarchs are compelled
112      V, VI  |      fearing this danger, give the people a share in the government
113      V, VII |       happen, when the mass of the people are of the high-spirited
114      V, VII |            to encroach.... But the people, who had been trained by
115      V, VII |            they well knew that the people would be glad enough to
116      V, VIII|       invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by
117      V, VIII|            of honor, or the common people in a matter of money; and
118      V, VIII|         against this evil. For the people do not take any great offense
119      V, VIII|    combined; for both notables and people might have their wishes
120      V, IX  |       maintaining the cause of the people, and should take oaths the
121      V, IX  |            will be an enemy to the people, and will devise all the
122      V, IX  |            will do no wrong to the people."~But of all the things
123      V, X   |         better classes against the people, and he is elected by them
124      V, X   |          tyrant is chosen from the people to be their protector against

126      V, X   |           for in ancient times the people who elected them gave the
127      V, X   |           unjust treatment, of the people against insult and oppression.

129      V, X   |          agree too in injuring the people and driving them out of
130      V, X   |           going about and striking people with clubs. At a later date

134      V, XI  |         fear of informers prevents people from speaking their minds,
135      V, XI  |        embroiled with friends, the people with the notables, and the
136      V, XI  |       guard by the citizen and the people, having to keep hard at
137      V, XI  |       alike intended to occupy the people and keep them poor. Another
138      V, XI  |          have a good time. For the people too would fain be a monarch,

141      V, XII |        class are stronger than the people, and the one are energetic,
142     VI, II  |       robbed of its power; for the people then draw all cases to themselves,
143     VI, IV  |    democracy where the mass of the people live by agriculture or tending
144     VI, IV  |           in turn out of the whole people, as at Mantinea; yet, if
145     VI, IV  |           by the best persons; the people are willing enough to elect
146     VI, IV  |          from doing wrong, and the people have their due. It is evident
147     VI, IV  |    democracy, and why? Because the people are drawn from a certain
148     VI, IV  |          with a view to making the people husbandmen. They provided
149     VI, IV  |            similar, are a pastoral people, who live by their flocks;
150     VI, IV  |          and able to camp out. The people of whom other democracies
151     VI, IV  |      traders or laborers. Besides, people of this class can readily
152     VI, IV  | constitutional government; for the people are compelled to settle
153     VI, IV  |      democracies, when the country people cannot come. We have thus
154     VI, IV  |       democracy and strengthen the people, the leaders have been in
155     VI, V   |  law-courts in order to please the people. But those who have the
156     VI, V   |     punished all the same, and the people, having nothing to gain,
157     VI, V   |         Yet the true friend of the people should see that they be
158     VI, V   |       retain the affections of the people; their policy is from time
159     VI, V   |           work. The example of the people of Tarentum is also well
160     VI, V   |          lot; the latter, that the people may participate in them,
161     VI, VI  |            the better class of the people. The principle, narrowed
162     VI, VII |            divisions of the common people—husbandmen, mechanics, retail
163     VI, VII |           in the government to the people, either, as I said before,
164     VI, VII |     attached to them, and then the people will not desire them and
165     VI, VII |       public edifice, and then the people who participate in the entertainments,
166    VII, X   |      Egyptians appear to be of all people the most ancient; and they
167    VII, X   |        inspire unanimity among the people in their border wars. Where
168    VII, XIV |        surely they are not a happy people now that their empire has
169    VII, XVI |     accustomed to marry young, the people are small and weak; in childbirth
