A batch of the best highlights from what Siddish's read, .

Aristotle gave a number of options as to how the cycle could be halted or slowed: - **Even the most minor changes to basic laws and constitutions must be opposed** because over time the small changes will add up to a complete transformation. - In aristocracies and democracies the tenure of rulers must be kept very short to prevent them from becoming despots - __External threats, real or imagined, preserve internal peace__ - The three government basic systems can be blended into one, taking the best elements of each - If any one individual gains too much power, be it political, monetary, or military he should be banished from the polis - Judges and magistrates must never accept money to make decisions - The middle class must be large - Most important to Aristotle in preserving a constitution is **education**: __if all the citizens are aware of the law, history, and the constitution they will endeavor to maintain a good government.__
