The Athenian Constitution (Penguin Classics)

Aristotle, the first great collector of knowledge, set some of his students to examine the constitution of different Greek states. The Athenian Constitution, probably written by a student between 332 and 322 BC, is the only work to have survived. It is a factual history and constitution of Classical Athens, the model of democracy in a world in which states lived under a variety of different kinds of government. The author has left us a book of great interest and importance. 198 pages.
