HELP!!) Do you think Aristotle might have approved of Platos idea that philosopher-kings should rule?
I can do a few of these: 1. I would think so. Aristotle also taught of the power of philosophy, saying that ‘the unexamined life is not worth living,’ so I think he’d support that. 2. The Roman republic was democratic (leaving out slaves), while the Etruscans were a monarchy. 3. a. People could only be consul for a year before stepping down for ten years. b. There were two consuls so that one could check the other’s decision. c. Politicians were obliged to serve a number of positions (quaestor, aedile, praetor) before they could be consul. This is called the cursus honorum. 4. The republic became an emperor because Caesar was appointed to ten-year and then to lifelong rule. 5. The jury system, having professional lawyers, using witnesses, the presumption of innocence and having magistrates. 6-11: not sure, just know lots about Rome.
