Grounding his argument on the premise that man is "naturally" a political animal, Aristotle develops the theory of the state, distinguishes various kinds of constitution, and considers the best state for the particular circumstances, character, and conditions of the citizens. Aristotle also discusses the nature and causes of political instability and revolution.
