In What Ways Did Plato and Aristotle Differ in Their Views on Democracy?
Plato and Aristotle had different ideas about democracy.
Plato:
He was not a fan of democracy.
He thought it was ruled by people who didn't know enough.
Plato believed that only smart and educated people should be in charge. He thought this group was only about 5% to 10% of everyone.
Aristotle:
He saw democracy as a real form of government, though he called it a "twisted" type.
Aristotle liked the idea of mixing different types of governments together, combining democracy with aristocracy (which means rule by a few smart people).
He believed that more people, about 20% to 30% of citizens, should be involved in making decisions.
