  1      I, II  |      another, and no further), the power of speech is intended to
  2      I, II  |       defined by their working and power; and we ought not to say
  3      I, VI  |            because one man has the power of doing violence and is
  4      I, VI  |          has actually the greatest power of exercising force; and
  5      I, VI  |  exercising force; and as superior power is only found where there
  6      I, VI  |           excellence of some kind, power seems to imply virtue, and
  7      I, XII |         exercising a kind of royal power. And therefore Homer has
  8     II, II  | continuance of the same persons in power where this is possible,
  9     II, VII |            against states of equal power, and of the same character.
 10     II, VIII|         government at all, or have power to appoint magistrates?
 11     II, VIII|            art. For the law has no power to command obedience except
 12     II, VIII|          to new laws enfeebles the power of the law. Even if we admit
 13     II, IX  |            and tyrannical is their power, that even the kings have
 14     II, IX  |           at war, therefore, their power was preserved, but when
 15     II, X   |     privilege, and their arbitrary power of acting upon their own
 16     II, XI  |           Such officers have great power, and therefore, if they
 17     II, XII |          For in giving the supreme power to the law courts, which
 18     II, XII |         and Pericles curtailed the power of the Areopagus; Pericles
 19     II, XII |    demagogue in turn increased the power of the democracy until it
 20     II, XII |            the Athenians only that power of electing to offices and
 21    III, I   |            that those who have the power do not govern. Let us not
 22    III, I   |           clear up.~He who has the power to take part in the deliberative
 23    III, IV  |            by the other I mean the power actually to do menial duties,
 24    III, VII |      fighting-men have the supreme power, and those who possess arms
 25    III, VIII|           of property and have the power in their hands? In like
 26    III, VIII|        than the rich, and have the power in their hands because they
 27    III, VIII|         parties respectively claim power in the state.~
 28    III, IX  |    Lycophron says, and has no real power to make the citizens~This
 29    III, X   |          what is to be the supreme power in the state: Is it the
 30    III, X   |      coerces other men by superior power, just as the multitude coerce
 31    III, X   |           to rule and have supreme power? But in that case everybody
 32    III, X   |          else, being excluded from power, will be dishonored. For
 33    III, X   |       passion, to have the supreme power, rather than the law. But
 34    III, XI  |          is akin to it —viz., what power should be assigned to the
 35    III, XI  |          legislators give them the power of electing to offices,
 36    III, XI  |        class; and we attribute the power of judging to them quite
 37    III, XI  |         really defensible. For the power does not reside in the dicast,
 38    III, XIII|         the aspirants to political power. For those who found their
 39    III, XIV |       pattern; but there the royal power is not absolute, except
 40    III, XIV |    perpetual. The king has not the power of life and death, except
 41    III, XIV |           out to battle he has the power even of life and death.
 42    III, XIV |      because they possess despotic power; but inasmuch as they are
 43    III, XIV |      voluntary subjects, and their power was inherited by their descendants.
 44    III, XIV |             In ancient times their power extended continuously to
 45    III, XIV |           with law. A third is the power of the so-called Aesynmete
 46    III, XV  |          between them, having less power than the last, and more
 47    III, XV  |            should have the supreme power in all things? The first
 48    III, XV  |          be maintained that kingly power is the best thing for states,
 49    III, XV  |        might, will not hand on his power to his children. That, however,
 50    III, XVI |            city has a more limited power. Now, absolute monarchy,
 51    III, XVII|            should have the supreme power, and that mankind should
 52     IV, II  |        subjects to the best of our power, we will endeavor to ascertain
 53     IV, III |       themselves, according to the power which different classes
 54     IV, IV  |        multitude, have the supreme power, and supersede the law by
 55     IV, IV  |         one; and the many have the power in their hands, not as individuals,
 56     IV, IV  |         the other. Both have great power; the flatterer with the
 57     IV, V   |            the revolution have the power in their hands.~
 58     IV, VI  |          fortunes have the supreme power, the government is administered
 59     IV, VI  |            a democracy the supreme power is vested in the laws, because
 60     IV, VI  |        stronger they are, the more power they claim, and having this
 61     IV, VI  |            their wishes. When this power is intensified by a further
 62     IV, IX  |          characteristics; that the power of inflicting death or banishment
 63     IV, X   |            who exercise a despotic power; despotic rulers were also
 64     IV, X   |     tyranny is just that arbitrary power of an individual which is
 65     IV, XII |            only in giving too much power to the rich, but in attempting
 66     IV, XIII|            is no such combination, power will be in the hands of
 67     IV, XIII|            overthrow of the kingly power, grew up out of the warrior
 68     IV, XIV |            that which has judicial power.~The deliberative element
 69     IV, XIV |            when those who have the power of deliberation are self-elected,
 70     IV, XIV |      negative, not the affirmative power; the affirmation of everything
 71     IV, XV  |         are oligarchical. Even the power of the council disappears
 72     IV, XV  |         there are various kinds of power: the power of the general,
 73     IV, XV  |        various kinds of power: the power of the general, for example,
 74      V, III |            which they derive their power, making their gains either
 75      V, III |         one or more persons have a power which is too much for the
 76      V, III |         much for the state and the power of the government; this
 77      V, IV  |          of the state, increase in power or renown. Thus at Athens
 78      V, IV  |        that those who have secured power to the state, whether private
 79      V, V   |        prevents them from usurping power; at any rate instances to
 80      V, V   |            reason also, that great power was placed in the hands
 81      V, VI  |        Athens Charicles’ party won power by courting the Thirty,
 82      V, VII |            constitution gives them power, are apt to be insolent
 83      V, VIII|        were fixed, there should be power given by law to raise or
 84      V, VIII|            any one having too much power, whether derived from friends
 85      V, X   |            cities had increased in power. Others which were older
 86      V, X   |         limits of their hereditary power and become despots. Others
 87      V, X   |          tyranny, since he had the power in his hands already, either
 88      V, X   |            or on these claims with power added to them. For all who
 89      V, X   |         benefited, or had in their power to benefit, states and nations;
 90      V, X   |          stand in the way of their power; and also because plots
 91      V, X   |           but in the wantonness of power. Pytho, too, and Heracleides
 92      V, X   |      because they seem to have the power in their hands. Thus generals
 93      V, X   |             and believing that his power was worn out. Thus again,
 94      V, X   |           courage is emboldened by power, and the union of the two
 95      V, X   |      acquired, have retained their power, but those who have inherited,
 96      V, X   |            and any one who obtains power by force or fraud is at
 97      V, X   |          possessing not tyrannical power, but only royal dignity,
 98      V, XI  |            kings, the longer their power will last unimpaired; for
 99      V, XI  |       Ephoralty. He diminished the power of the kings, but established
100      V, XI  |          leave to his sons a royal power which was less than he had
101      V, XI  |      indeed," he replied, "for the power which I leave to them will
102      V, XI  |            leader. And whereas the power of a king is preserved by
103      V, XI  |            they above all have the power.~Again, the evil practices
104      V, XI  |            tyrannies. Such are the power given to women in their
105      V, XI  |          by him as an enemy to his power. Another mark of a tyrant
106      V, XI  |          by which he preserves his power; there is no wickedness
107      V, XI  |          under the idea that their power is endangered by them, not
108      V, XI  |             2) he takes away their power; (3) he humbles them.~This
109      V, XI  |          mode of destroying kingly power is to make the office of
110      V, XI  |           be careful; he must keep power enough to rule over his
111      V, XI  |            his tyranny. But though power must be retained as the
112      V, XI  |          less likely to attack his power; and a tyrant, when he is
113      V, XI  |           is to be deprived of his power, let it be diminished gradually,
114      V, XI  |          not from the insolence of power, and in general he should
115      V, XI  |         whom he is not afraid. His power too will be more lasting.
116     VI, I   |            deliberative or supreme power in states, and the various
117     VI, II  |       democracy the poor have more power than the rich, because there
118     VI, II  |         even this is robbed of its power; for the people then draw
119     VI, II  |          should be stripped of its power, and the holders should
120     VI, III |       shall we give the thousand a power equal to that of the five
121     VI, III |        principle, to have the sole power—but this would be tyranny;
122     VI, IV  |            Moreover, they have the power of electing the magistrates
123     VI, IV  |    Mantinea; yet, if they have the power of deliberating, the many
124     VI, IV  |          he wanted to increase the power of the democracy at Athens,
125     VI, VII |         the lower classes raises a power against itself. And therefore,
126    VII, I   |       desires of wealth, property, power, reputation, and the like.
127    VII, II  |            is to give men despotic power over their neighbors. And,
128    VII, II  |          aim at the maintenance of power: thus in Lacedaemon and
129    VII, II  |            their ambition military power is held in esteem, for example
130    VII, III |            some renounce political power, and think that the life
131    VII, III |        still maintain that supreme power is the best of all things,
132    VII, III |            rather to take away his power; and the father should make
133    VII, III |      superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions,
134    VII, IV  |            their number, but their power. A city too, like an individual,
135    VII, IV  |            is the work of a divine power—of such a power as holds
136    VII, IV  |           a divine power—of such a power as holds together the universe.
137    VII, IV  |         these retain their natural power when they are too large
138    VII, VI  |        part in politics, her naval power should be commensurate with
139    VII, VI  |          the sea, and its maritime power.~
140    VII, VII |          account of friends.~ ~The power of command and the love
141    VII, VIII|   necessary of all there must be a power of deciding what is for
142    VII, XIII|   manifestly desire, some have the power of attaining, but to others,
143    VII, XIII|             for we acknowledge her power): whereas virtue and goodness
144    VII, XIV |         those who have it in their power to attain to two out of
145    VII, XIV |         meet dangers, gained great power. But surely they are not
146    VII, XIV |        obviously try to obtain the power in his own state—the crime
147   VIII, V   |         ways, and not least by the power which the songs of Olympus
148   VIII, V   |            and to cultivate as the power of forming right judgments,
149   VIII, V   |           to show that music has a power of forming the character,
