Life of Aristotle: Born 384 BC Died 322 BC (jan 1, 384 BC – jan 1, 322 BC)
Description:
Aristotle was the pupil of Plato. Unlike his teacher, Aristotle did not believe in ideals, but was more practical. Rather than imagine the best government, Aristotle examined the governments of his day and conclude that while all governments can be bad, democracy is the least bad, especially when there is a written constitution to protect citizens and limit the power of those that govern.Added to timeline:
