- 1175: Plato vs. Aristotle
- ... of governing that would be ideal for an actual state. Balance is a main word in discussing Aristotle because he believes it is the necessary element to creating a stable government. His less metaphysical approach to politics makes Aristotle more in tune with the modern world, yet he is far from modern.

China never kept those promises, though, and in 1959 reneged on the treaty altogether (Tibet Support Group UK 1). China renamed two of Tibet’s three provinces as ...

- ... force was the power of the majority manifested through the creation of a sovereign. Problems can arise, when individuals cannot agree.
