legislators

have been

of a

middle

condition;

for

example,

Solon, as

his own

verses

and

Lycurgus,

not a

Charondas,

governments

are either

democratical

or

oligarchical.

is that

the middle

class is

sel- dom

numerous

and

whichever

party,

whether

the rich

or the

common

people,

transgresses

the mean

and

predominates,
