Most of the citizens that make up it are excluded from participation in “the City” from that common good that is happiness. Only free citizens, those who have enough wealth to avoid having to do necessary work, and have the means, time and leisure to devote themselves to intellectual activities (considered superior), are those who can achieve happiness. That is, the common good of the city becomes the good of some, of a particular class; It is, therefore, an aristocratic ideal, of a privileged elite. In his various treatises on politics, Aristotle analyzes different systems of government, ones that he considers fair : monarchy , or government by one, aristocracy , or government by the best, and democracy , or government by the community; and others, perverse or unjust: tyranny , or deviation from the monarchy; oligarchy, or deviation from aristocracy and demagogy , or deviation from democracy.

Although Australia Phone Number democracy was founded on freedom and to this end it must be ordered and oriented, Aristotle always had serious objections against it.

Over time, the concept “democracy” has evolved; A term, apparently simple to understand and apply, is actually complex and requires reflection on the historical journey that goes from democracy in ancient Greece to permanent evolution and conquest.
Especially until the end of the 18th century, with the successive introduction of democratic systems in numerous nations and, in particular, from the recognition of universal suffrage and women's suffrage in the 20th century; Curiously, New Zealand was the oldest country to recognize women's right to vote on an equal basis with men in 1893. In Spain, this long process of recognizing the female vote would not culminate until the Second Republic. Any other solution would be democratically unacceptable today. Democracy has not only been a human aspiration to achieve citizen rights, but also a way to make decisions among the members of a community and, through it, regulate fair coexistence. Today, existing democracies are very different from that Athenian system of government from which they have inherited their name; They have represented a theoretical effort of empirical analysis to understand, not only its process of transition and consolidation, but also of philosophical and political reflection.
