Most of (2) key words commonly used to describe governments, words (3) as monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy, are of Greek (4) Roman origin. They have been current for more (5) 2,000 years and have not yet exhausted their (6) . This suggests that mankind has not changed very (7) since they were coined; but such verbal and (8) uniformity must not be allowed to hide the (9) changes in society and politics that have occurred.

There (13) a king in Macedon and a king in Persia, (14) the two societies, and therefore their institutions, (15) radically different. To give real meaning to the (16) monarchy in these two instances, it would be (17) to investigate their actual political and historical contexts. (18) general account of monarchy required then, and requires (19) , an inquiry as to what circumstances have predisposed (20) to adopt monarchy, and what have led them to reject it. So it is with all political terms.
