 | | Independently, in China, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, and the Legalist school, all sought to find means of restoring political unity and stability; in the case of the former three though the cultivation of virtue, in the last by imposition of discipline. | | | In the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced the New Deal. | | | Chanakya : Founder of an independent political thought in India, laid down rules and guidelines for social, law and political order in society. |

| | Aristotle's Political Theory |
| | Aristotle was born in Stagira in northern Greece, and his father was a court physician to the king of Macedon. | | | Hence, Aristotelian political science is not confined to the ideal system, but also investigates the second-best constitution, the one which is the best that most city-states are capable of supporting. | | | Aristotle explores the implications of this argument in the remainder of Politics III, considering the rival claims of the rule of law and the rule of a supremely virtuous individual. |

| | Plato's Political Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Although the Republic, the Statesman, the Laws and a few shorter dialogues are considered to be the only strictly political dialogues of Plato, it can be argued that political philosophy was the area of his greatest concern. | | | The best laws assure that all the city’s parts: the democratic, the oligarchic, and the aristocratic, are represented in political institutions: the popular Assembly, the elected Council, and the Higher Council, and thus each social class receives its due expression. | | | Coming from a distinguished family - on his father’s side descending from Codrus, one of the early kings of Athens, and on his mother’s side from Solon, the prominent reformer of the Athenian constitution - he was naturally destined to take an active role in political life. |

| | Political Philosophy and the Unwritten Constitution |
| | Neglect of the unwritten constitution may serve as an example of the debilitating effects of abstractionist, ahistorical modes of thought in contemporary political philosophy. | | | Discriminating observers recognize that political practice in the United States today bears only a faint resemblance to the Constitution written at Philadelphia. | | | The old Constitution enjoys a formal, ceremonial existence still and possesses a limited practical efficacy, but American government and politics have been transformed in the direction of a centralized mass democracy greatly at odds with what the Framers envisioned. |

| | Aristotle recognized that the life of the politician, the life devoted to political prudence and to honors, while it was a good life, contained many troubles (1177b12). | | | Totalitarianism usually had the connotation of "brainwashing" and coerced consent, of Rousseau's "being forced to be free". | | | When Thomas Jefferson in the American Declaration of Independence wrote, that "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind" requires the explanation of a country's actions to change its regime, he testified to our human need not merely to establish a new order but to justify its coming to be. |

| | Hobbes's Moral and Political Philosophy |
| | Perhaps we would imagine that people might fare best in such a state, where each decides for himself how to act, and is judge, jury and executioner in his own case whenever disputes arise-- and that at any rate, this state is the appropriate baseline against which to judge the justifiability of political arrangements. | | | Because virtually any government would be better than a civil war, and, according to Hobbes's analysis, all but absolute governments are systematically prone to dissolution into civil war, people ought to submit themselves to an absolute political authority. | | | The State of Nature is a State of War |

| | Their respective criticism of political practice and mores stem from a competing standard of what ought to constitute the good life for us. | | | The key question that divides political philosophers returns to whether it is the group or the individual that should be the political unit of analysis. | | | A rationalist may declare his belief in rationalism to be ultimately irrational (e.g., Karl Popper), and an irrationalist may act rationally. |

| | Beyond the question of how the state itself should be constituted lies the question of the general principles that should guide its decisions. | | | Connected to this is the issue of whether individual subjects have a moral obligation to obey the laws of their state (see Obligation, political), and of the circumstances under which politically-inspired disobedience is justifiable (see Civil disobedience; Revolution). | | | The first is the issue of social justice, which in one form or another has dominated political philosophy for much of the century. |

| | A contrast could also be made between the desire to formulate a civil law or constitution—defining and demarcating the nature and scope of government and the rights to be enjoyed by people living under it—and the practice of amending laws and societal arrangements on a case-by-case basis, as some countries did according to common law. | | | Is strong state control important to safeguard the people, or is that government best which governs least? | | | Relying on people not having enough time to vote against you is all you have, though. |
