Document Summary
The liberty of the ancients compared with that of the moderns. Define liberty: the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one"s way of life, behavior, or political view. I think in this article we are looking at liberty as only in the context as the state being free within society. It brought up many issues within the french revolution. There wouldn"t be freedom and peace today without the representative. The investigation of this to constant is important because: government it brought, yet it is unknown to the ancient society. Define magistrates : a civil officer; administers law. Sparta was not a representative government; rather it was controlled by five magistrates, the king had limited power and their intentions were as much religious as they were political. The magistrates took part in administration in the executive powers, which instead of them being there to control tyranny, became tyrant themselves.
