  1      I, V   |         only; it originates in the constitution of the universe; even in
  2      I, XIII|          themselves. Here the very constitution of the soul has shown us
  3      I, XIII|       education with an eye to the constitution, if the virtues of either
  4     II, I   |        clearly impossible, for the constitution is a community, and must
  5     II, VI  |         better examine briefly the constitution which is therein described.
  6     II, VI  |     community of property, and the constitution of the state. The population
  7     II, VI  |         not much is said about the constitution. This, which he had intended
  8     II, VI  |          if he intended to frame a constitution which would suit the greatest
  9     II, VI  |          indeed, say that the best constitution is a combination of all
 10     II, VI  |           maintained that the best constitution is made up of democracy
 11     II, VI  |        combine many forms; for the constitution is better which is made
 12     II, VI  |        more numerous elements. The constitution proposed in the Laws has
 13     II, VI  |           they desire. Such is the constitution which is described in the
 14     II, VII |          abrogation of it made the constitution too democratic, for the
 15     II, VIII|        most striking points in the constitution of Hippodamus. There is
 16     II, VIII|  destructive to the laws or to the constitution. But, since we have touched
 17     II, IX  |           intention of the Spartan constitution, and is adverse to the happiness
 18     II, IX  |             and this defect in the constitution is clearly to be attributed
 19     II, IX  |            air of indecorum to the constitution considered in itself, but
 20     II, IX  |         poverty.~The Lacedaemonian constitution is defective in another
 21     II, IX  |            royal office, the whole constitution has deteriorated, and from
 22     II, IX  |        been advantageous. For if a constitution is to be permanent, all
 23     II, IX  |  accordance with the spirit of the constitution—they have a deal too much
 24     II, IX  |      appears in other parts of his constitution; he would have his citizens
 25     II, IX  |      likewise justified; the whole constitution has regard to one part of
 26     II, IX  |      Enough respecting the Spartan constitution, of which these are the
 27     II, X   |                       X~The Cretan constitution nearly resembles the Spartan,
 28     II, X   |         came to Crete, adopted the constitution which they found existing
 29     II, X   |           highest office, want the constitution to be permanent. But in
 30     II, X   |         the weakness of the Cretan constitution was revealed. Enough of
 31     II, XI  |           The superiority of their constitution is proved by the fact that
 32     II, XI  |         people remain loyal to the constitution the Carthaginians have never
 33     II, XI  |          in which the Carthaginian constitution resembles the Lacedaemonian
 34     II, XI  |         for which the Carthaginian constitution would be censured, apply
 35     II, XI  |      aristocracy. The Carthaginian constitution deviates from aristocracy
 36     II, XI  |         third form under which the constitution of Carthage is comprehended;
 37     II, XII |         both. Of the Lacedaemonian constitution I have already spoken. As
 38     II, XII |         playing the tyrant the old constitution was changed into the existing
 39     II, XII |           but he adapted them to a constitution which already existed, and
 40     II, XII |            and not the author of a constitution; he has a law which is peculiar
 41    III, I   |         entirely with the state; a constitution or government being an arrangement
 42    III, III |       partnership of citizens in a constitution, when the form of government
 43    III, III |     chiefly in the sameness of the constitution, and it may be called or
 44    III, IV  |         all. This community is the constitution; the virtue of the citizen
 45    III, IV  |       therefore be relative to the constitution of which he is a member.
 46    III, IV  |          consideration of the best constitution. If the state cannot be
 47    III, VI  |        differences between them.~A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies
 48    III, VI  |    sovereign in the state, and the constitution is in fact the government.
 49    III, VII |        once be apparent. The words constitution and government have the
 50    III, VII |       called by the generic name—a constitution. And there is a reason for
 51    III, XIII|           to the good of their own constitution, they have used ostracism
 52    III, XV  |            of royalty is a sort of constitution; this we have now to consider,
 53    III, XV  |         commonwealth, and set up a constitution. The ruling class soon deteriorated
 54     IV, I   |           far from having the best constitution that it is unprovided even
 55     IV, I   |           although they reject the constitution under which they are living,
 56     IV, I   |          the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment
 57     IV, I   |       ought to be, relative to the constitution, and not the constitution
 58     IV, I   |          constitution, and not the constitution to the laws. A constitution
 59     IV, I   |        constitution to the laws. A constitution is the organization of offices
 60     IV, I   |         with the principles of the constitution; they are the rules according
 61     IV, II  |           1) how many varieties of constitution there are (since of democracy
 62     IV, II  |       there are several): (2) what constitution is the most generally acceptable,
 63     IV, III |          each other in kind. For a constitution is an organization of offices,
 64     IV, IV  |            there are many forms of constitution, and to what causes the
 65     IV, IV  |         objection that it is not a constitution at all; for where the laws
 66     IV, IV  |          no authority, there is no constitution. The law ought to be supreme
 67     IV, IV  |        this should be considered a constitution. So that if democracy be
 68     IV, V   |           the qualified persons, a constitution of this kind inclines to
 69     IV, V   |            that in many states the constitution which is established by
 70     IV, V   |       other states the established constitution may incline to democracy,
 71     IV, VI  |         admitted to a share in the constitution. But leisure cannot be provided
 72     IV, VIII|           is the very reverse of a constitution~Having explained why I have
 73     IV, IX  |           in it. The Lacedaemonian constitution, for example, is often described
 74     IV, IX  |   Ephoralty. By others the Spartan constitution is said to be an oligarchy,
 75     IV, IX  |          the state to maintain the constitution.~Enough of the manner in
 76     IV, XI  |           inquire what is the best constitution for most states, and the
 77     IV, XI  |          of constitutions; for the constitution is in a figure the life
 78     IV, XI  |            predominates, draws the constitution its own way, and thus arises
 79     IV, XI  |        induced to give this middle constitution to states. But it has now
 80     IV, XII |      desires the permanence of the constitution ought to be stronger than
 81     IV, XII |           more lasting will be the constitution. Many even of those who
 82     IV, XII |            more destructive to the constitution than those of the people.~
 83     IV, XIV |         what is expedient for each constitution. When they are well-ordered,
 84     IV, XIV |         they are well-ordered, the constitution is well-ordered, and as
 85     IV, XIV |            but by turns, as in the constitution of Telecles the Milesian.
 86     IV, XIV |           and to consult about the constitution, and to hear the edicts
 87     IV, XIV |      disturb the principles of the constitution. Again, in oligarchies either
 88     IV, XVI |           with treason against the constitution; the fourth determines disputes
 89      V, I   | governments; the one affecting the constitution, when men seek to change
 90      V, I   |            other not affecting the constitution, when, without disturbing
 91      V, I   |           against a portion of the constitution only, e.g., the establishment
 92      V, III |       another and also against the constitution from which they derive their
 93      V, III |            sometimes slip into the constitution through neglect of a small
 94      V, IV  |        Syracuse; for the Syracusan constitution was once changed by a love-quarrel
 95      V, V   |             V~And now, taking each constitution separately, we must see
 96      V, VI  |          oligarchy and changed the constitution.~(2) Of internal causes
 97      V, VI  |             and so they change the constitution; this happened at Heraclea
 98      V, VII |      deviation from justice in the constitution itself; the cause of the
 99      V, VII |    contented. But the rich, if the constitution gives them power, are apt
100      V, VII |         general, whichever way the constitution inclines, in that direction
101      V, VII |           being wronged, force the constitution to take an opposite form.
102      V, VII |         giving up some part of the constitution, and so with greater ease
103      V, VII |        inroad would be made on the constitution. But other changes soon
104      V, VIII|        government keep in hand the constitution. Wherefore the ruler who
105      V, VIII|        ruler who has a care of the constitution should invent terrors, and
106      V, VIII|          ratings recognized by the constitution were fixed, there should
107      V, IX  |         loyalty to the established constitution; (2) the greatest administrative
108      V, IX  |            and not a friend to the constitution, and another man is loyal
109      V, IX  |           the state is ruined, the constitution is ruined.~There is an error
110      V, IX  |     education in the spirit of the constitution, if the laws are democratical,
111      V, IX  |      educated in the spirit of the constitution is not to perform the actions
112      V, IX  |       according to the rule of the constitution; for it is their salvation.~
113      V, XII |           he says that the Spartan constitution changes into an oligarchy,
114      V, XII |            the case in the Spartan constitution, or in any other in which
115     VI, II  |          scrutiny of accounts, the constitution, and private contracts;
116     VI, II  |         some ancient change in the constitution it should be stripped of
117     VI, III |          is the juster form of the constitution—this or one based on numbers
118     VI, IV  |          excess of this point, the constitution becomes disorderly, and
119     VI, V   |          to be all attached to the constitution as well, or at any rate
120     VI, VI  |          seeing what should be the constitution of oligarchies. We have
121    VII, II  |          which is the best form of constitution or the best condition of
122    VII, II  |        both of the laws and of the constitution is to give men despotic
123    VII, IX  |            does not occur in every constitution; as we were saying, all
124    VII, IX  |            to the principle of the constitution, the citizens must not lead
125    VII, IX  |          determine the fate of the constitution. It remains therefore that
126    VII, IX  |          be entrusted by the ideal constitution to the same persons, not,
127    VII, X   |            have laws and a regular constitution existing from time immemorial.
128    VII, XIII|              XIII~Returning to the constitution itself, let us seek to determine
129    VII, XIV |          commend the Lacedaemonian constitution, and praise the legislator
130    VII, XIV |            about the Lacedaemonian constitution have praised their legislator,
131    VII, XV  |           best man and of the best constitution must also be the same; it
132    VII, XVI |           north to the south.~What constitution in the parent is most advantageous
133    VII, XVI |            remarks at present. The constitution of an athlete is not suited
134    VII, XVI |        valetudinarian or exhausted constitution, but one which is in a mean
135    VII, XVI |         mean between them. A man’s constitution should be inured to labor,
136   VIII, I   |         education does harm to the constitution The citizen should be molded
