The Athenian Constitution is a book written by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, in which he analyzes the political system of Athens, Greece, during the 4th century BC. The book is divided into three parts: the first part provides a historical overview of the development of the Athenian political system, the second part describes the various government institutions and their functions, and the third part discusses the roles and responsibilities of the citizens within the political system.Aristotle examines the various forms of government that existed in Athens, including monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy, and argues that democracy is the best form of government. He describes the various institutions of the Athenian government, including the Assembly, the Council of Five Hundred, and the courts, and explains how they functioned.Aristotle also discusses the role of the citizens in the Athenian political system, emphasizing the importance of civic virtue and the need for citizens to be actively involved in the political process. He argues that a well-functioning democracy requires an educated and engaged citizenry.Overall, The Athenian Constitution provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the Athenian political system, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and political theorists today.[They were tried] by a court empanelled from among the noble families, and sworn upon the sacrifices. The part of accuser was taken by Myron. They were found guilty of the sacrilege, and their bodies were cast out of their graves and their race banished for evermore. In view of this expiation, Epimenides the Cretan performed a purification of the city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
