Both Plato and Aristotle made important views on government and politics. Two of the many political themes written by these people are despotism and the rule of law. Tyranny happens when absolute power is given to rulers. In the authoritarian government, rulers are corrupt and not use for public benefit but to use their own power to promote their own interests. Both Plato and Aristotle lived in the democratic city of Athens, Greece. In Athens' democracy, all male citizens are directly involved in the enactment of the law and the decision of the jury trial. Annual elections will determine who will fill an important government position. Citizens draw a lot of money to figure out who is in other positions.
