CPlato
DConfucius
Correct answer: (A) Aristotle — The statement is by Aristotle, so the answer is Aristotle.
Explanation
★The statement is by Aristotle, so the answer is Aristotle.
★Aristotle defended the principle of citizens ruling and being ruled in turn.
★This is the basis of his idea of constitutional government and active citizenship.
★It rests on the equality of free citizens who share in the offices of the state.
★Justice for Aristotle requires rotation in office rather than permanent rule by one.
★Plato, by contrast, favoured rule by the wise philosopher kings.
★Aristotle thus gives a more participatory and republican account of justice in politics.
