18     IV, II   |          true forms: kingly rule, aristocracy, and constitutional government,
19     IV, II   |  democracy. Of kingly rule and of aristocracy, we have already spoken,
20     IV, II   |        already determined in what aristocracy and kingly rule differ from
21     IV, II   |         for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most
22     IV, III  |         by us when in treating of aristocracy we enumerated the essentials
23     IV, III  |      democracy and oligarchy. For aristocracy is considered to be a kind
24     IV, V    |          this kind inclines to an aristocracy, if out of a privileged

28     IV, VII  |       mentioned, and is termed an aristocracy. For indeed in states which
29     IV, VII  |           as at Carthage, that is aristocracy; and also where it has regard
30     IV, VII  |      There are these two forms of aristocracy in addition to the first
31     IV, VIII |           democracy, and the term aristocracy to those which incline towards
32     IV, VIII |        gentlemen. And inasmuch as aristocracy seeks to give predominance

41      V, VII  |        affect oligarchies; for an aristocracy is a sort of oligarchy,
42      V, VII  |          becoming a democracy, an aristocracy an oligarchy. But the process
