Aristotle presents his classification of government in three pairs:

1. Monarchy and tyranny - the rule of one - monarchy is the rule of a monarch ideally in a just way as compared to tyranny which is the rule of a tyrant in an unjust, cruel way

2. Aristocracy and oligarchy - the rule of few - aristocracy is the rule of highly privileged, upper class or elites while oligarchy is the rule of a dominant class or clique

3. Democracy and polity - the rule of many - democracy is the rule of the people wherein their rights and privileges are practiced through voting and elections of government officials while polity is the people wherein citizens are equal and they take turns to rule under the law of the state

Aristotle classified governments into three main types: monarchy (rule by a single person for the common good), aristocracy (rule by a virtuous few for the common good), and polity (a mixed form of government where all citizens rule for the common good). Each of these forms can degenerate into tyranny, oligarchy, or democracy respectively if the rulers prioritize their own interests over the common good.
