3. Aristocracy: the rule of the few good rulers who exercise supreme authority for the well-being of the people.
4. Oligarchy: the selfish government of the few rich men in their own interests.
5. Polity: a good form of the rule of the many for the good of all.
6. Democracy: Aristotle says " The rule of the poor who are many but lawless, just as an oligarchy is the rule of the few rich who are selfish."
