Best Answer

Aristotle defined the types of government - monarchy (rule by one), aristocracy (rule by the best) and democracy (people power). He postulated that these 'best' options degraded to tyranny (autocracy),aristocracy degrade to oligarchy (rule by the few) and democracy to ochlocracy (mob rule. Others had varying definitions, ad later variations arose, but political theory was being defined.
