...constitutions obviously differ from one another in kind, and some of them are obviously inferior and some superior in quality; for constitutions which are defective and perverted... Are necessarily inferior to those which are free from defects.
It follows that...the citizen under each different kind of constitution must also necessarily be different.
We may thus conclude that the citizen of our definition is particularly and especially the citizen of a democracy.
Citizens living under other kinds of constitution may possibly, but do not necessarily, correspond to the definition.
There are some states, for example, in which there is no popular element: such states have no regular meeting of the assembly, but only meetings specially summoned; and [so far as membership of the courts is concerned] they remit the decision of cases to special bodies.
