Answer:

Aristotle believed that having different types of government was essential to avoid being pigeonholed in a particular policy.

Explanation:

For Aristotle, the different types of government are classified as follows:

A government led by a person, in its normal form is a monarchy, and in its corrupt form it is a tyranny.

When it is ruled by a few, its normal form is the aristocracy, and its corrupt form is the oligarchy.

Finally, when it is ruled by many, its normal form is polity, and its corrupt form is democracy.

Aristotle has tried to investigate and develop the cycles of these state or government classifications, since for him the state forms revolve as a cycle.
