yes no As written in history books Plato's ideal form of government is aristocracy which is a government ruled by an upper class. an aristocracy not of birth or of wealth but one based on intelligence, reasoning, education, and high ideals.
Absolute Monarchy
A monarchy. She was the queen and she decided things.
The Ten Commandments were written at a time when an absolute monarchy was considered to be the ideal form of government. None of them provides any support for the concept of democracy.
For Philosophers to rule and be 'guardians' of everyone else, as poor people shouldn't get to vote and make decisions.
Montesquieu is most notable known for his book The Spirit of the Laws in which he dissected the forms of government in his time.He made several observations. One is that an ideal government (republic, democracy, monarchy) cannot be decided upon because the type of ideal governing depends on the circumstances in which it is implemented. It depends on the country, the people, the ruler.He also emphasized that a government needs separation of powers and checks and balances to be effective. He warned against growing power of an absolute monarch.The third observation he is known for is for saying that though there is no ideal government, the English, with their Parliament and restricted monarchy, were a very good example.
He didn't. His ideal form of a government was a kind of republic but in his time the land was ruled my a king.
In an Absolute Monarchy the Monarch is given absolute rule. For one example you can look at Ivan the Great of Russia. He limited the power of the land-owning nobles and centralized royal power. Or, you can look at King Philip II of Spain. He established complete authority over the government and lives of the people he governed. By looking at Charles X of France, you can get a more clear view of an Absolute Monarchy. He limited the right to vote, restricted the press, and suspended the legislature. Thomas Hobbes outlined his belief of the ideal government in his book Leviathan. This form of government that he stated was much like an Absolute Monarchy. He believed that citizens entered into a social contract in which they give up their state of nature for an organized society. In this form of government the ruler could impose order and compel obedience.Hope this helps : )

Thucydides discussed the historical transition of government in Greece, but he didn't and no one would have used this form of words as it doesn't make sense to say that because of monarchy, monarchy was rejected. Aristotle also discussed the forms of government and in fact said that monarchy was the ideal form, better than aristocracy and democracy.
No not necessarily, but this depends purely on the model of Republic and the renumeration packages of the political officials in a Republic vs the renumeration packages of political officials including the monarch in a Constitutional or Absolute Monarchy. Changing your system though can be an ideal opportunity for the people to push for renumeration decreases.
For Plato, the ideal city was one which mirrored the cosmos, on the one hand, and the individual on the other. As he described in The Republic, the ideal city, or polis, was one based on justice and human virtue. It was a form of social and political organization that allowed individuals to maximize their potentialities, serve their fellow citizens, and live in accordance with universal laws and truths.
