    Default Greek constitutions...

    So I was asked to read, at least, the constitutions of Athenas and Sparta. I know that this two are described in the empirical recopilation of Aristotle and his investigative group of the Liceum, however I don't know the name of the recopilation itself, thus making it almost impossible to find through Google. Sorry if I'm a little out of place asking this here, but I couldn't find a better place to ask if anyone knows where to find it online, and in english or spanish if possible. Thanks.

    "Política" in Spanish, "Politeia" (I guess) in Greek, "Politic" in English...

    There, Aristothele analyzes the most important forms of government of his time, inluiding Lacedaimon, the one of Feleas of Chalkedonia, Hipodamos of Mileto, Carthage, etc. And another topics like Slavery, Análisis of Plato`s Republic, organization of the State, Governments, Sovregnity, etc.

    Bye!

    You might also be interested in Xenophon's Polity of the Athenians and Lacedaemonians. It doesn't have their constitutions if I remember, but goes into deep detail on the workings of their politics and societies.

    Don't know much, but I'd say give it more time instead of less than a single day. Although, if time is a real concern, random PM's, history forums, and link hunting might give you a better shot at finding something.

    So it was "Política" then...Then I've already read it, but I don't remember the compilation of the constitutions. It will make sense, like some kind of historic demonstration of the politic theories included in the main scripture. Thanks, I'll get that book then.
