Appreciation of polybius.

Hellow friend today we will read about the appreciation of polybius.

Polybius was not an original thinker. He was a very practical observer. His
philosophy and understandings were based on the established concepts of state
craft. His most original contribution was that of the mixed constitution. It was
borrowed from Plato. He was the first systematic thinker to propose idea of the
mixed form of government. His concept of circle of government was borrowed
from Aristotle. He said that the balance of power existed in the governments and
not in the people. His conception of the balance of power is a basic feature of
modern constitutions. He was the first political thinker who proposed the idea of
checks and balances. It was later adopted by the makers of the American
Constitution. He also centered his idea on the objective of stability of
governments. It is good to see that Polybius had given importance to the objective
of stability of government.

So this is all about the appreciation of polybius.
