12     IV, VI  |         kinds of democracies and of oligarchies. For it is evident that
13     IV, VI  |          these necessary causes.~Of oligarchies, one form is that in which
14     IV, VII |          some states differing from oligarchies and also differing from
15     IV, VIII|        citizens, people say also of oligarchies that they are composed of
16     IV, IX  |       administration of justice. In oligarchies they impose a fine on the

22     IV, XIV |    respecting courts of law. For in oligarchies the rich who are wanted
23     IV, XIV |        attend. And this practice of oligarchies should be adopted by democracies
24     IV, XIV |           eliminated by lot. But in oligarchies either certain persons should

27     IV, XV  |        chosen from the educated, in oligarchies from the wealthy, and in
28      V, I   |   revolution than oligarchy. For in oligarchies there is the double danger
29      V, III |         revolution; for example, in oligarchies—when those who have no share
30      V, III |           expelled by them.~Now, in oligarchies the masses make revolution
31      V, VI  |            causes of revolutions in oligarchies: (1) First, when the oligarchs
32      V, VI  |            causes of revolutions in oligarchies one is the personal rivalry
33      V, VI  |             such is the fate of all oligarchies in which the magistrates
34      V, VI  |          Heraclea in Pontus. Again, oligarchies change whenever any attempt
35      V, VI  |     understanding among themselves.~Oligarchies, again, are overthrown when
36      V, VI  |        pilloried in the agora. Many oligarchies have been destroyed by some
37      V, VI  |            governments, and also of oligarchies which limit the office of
38      V, VI  |          changes and revolutions in oligarchies.~We must remark generally
39      V, VI  |             both of democracies and oligarchies, that they sometimes change,
40      V, VII |             already shown to affect oligarchies; for an aristocracy is a

42      V, VII |             everywhere put down the oligarchies, and the Lacedaemonians
43      V, VIII|      useless. Further, we note that oligarchies as well as aristocracies
44      V, VIII|           tenure of office prevents oligarchies and aristocracies from falling
45      V, VIII|        possession begets tyranny in oligarchies and democracies. For the
46      V, VIII|   democracies are demagogues and in oligarchies members of ruling houses,

48      V, VIII|             possibly make money. In oligarchies special precautions should

51      V, IX  |             their cause; just as in oligarchies the oligarchs should profess
52      V, X   |             out of the custom which oligarchies had of making some individual
53      V, XII |            like most of the ancient oligarchies in Sicily; for example,
54      V, XII |       themselves. Moreover, in many oligarchies there are laws against making
55      V, XII |             there are many forms of oligarchies and democracies, Socrates
56     VI, IV  |          them, as they still endure oligarchies, if they are allowed to
57     VI, VI  |       should be the constitution of oligarchies. We have only to reason

60     VI, VII |            in which democracies and oligarchies should be organized.~
61    VII, IX  |    democracies all share in all, in oligarchies the opposite practice prevails.
