Annotating the DocumentLet’s practice together!Politics, by Aristotle. Written between 384-322 BC

The basis of a democratic state is liberty; which,

according to the common opinion of men, can only be

enjoyed in such a state; this they affirm to be the great

end of every democracy. One principle of liberty is for

all to rule and be ruled in turn….whence it follows that

the majority approve must be the end and the just.

Every citizen, it is said, must have equality, and

therefore in a democracy the poor have more power

than the rich, because there are more of them, and the

will of the majority is supreme.
