What were Aristotle’s six types of government, and how did they differ?

What are the different types of government Aristotle describes?

Aristotle views constitutional government (a mixture of oligarchy, democracy under law) as the best form of government. However, he points out that none of these forms of government is healthy and states will switch between them in an abrupt and chaotic process called the kyklos/anacyclosis.

Aristotle also identifies three types of government and how they differ. Aristotle defines the six forms of government as: 1) Aristocracy is the virtuous rule by the few most distinguished citizens. They would prove that they are morally and intellectually superior and rule in the best interests of the whole population. 3) Monarchy is the rule of one virtuous ruler.
