A. Aristotle
B. J.J. Rouseau
C. K.C. Wheare
D. Plato

Correct Answer:

Option A – Aristotle

Explanation

The earliest classification of constitutions was the work of Aristotle.

Aristotle in his politics had a lot to say about the constitution. He was quite able to differentiate between two kinds of rules: ruble by passion, that is ruled by men of desire and caprice; and rules by reason. He clearly remarked that the former is not a good government due to men’s selfish interest and passion.

He said that a society will think of a good government if such a government is governed by reason that is laws.
