Secondary abstract: | The mixed constitution (res publica mixta) is one of the most significant ideas in the history of political thought. The mixed constitution was in theory always shown as a form of government, which warrants maximal grade of stability and of social justice and also tries to hinder the misuse of power. The idea has its origins in the unstable political reality in Greek city states of the classical period. For both Plato and Aristotle this was the best realizable form of government. The Greek historian Polybius saw in it the main reason for the rise of the Roman Empire. Cicero tried to use the mixed constitution in order to save the decaying Roman republic. This antique idea had great influence on the most important political philosophers of the Middle Ages and modern times. The paradigm of the division of powers, which is the fundament of modern representative democracy, also originates in the mixed constitution. |
