Abstract

This work presents a probabilistic analysis of governmental forms classically catalogued. Its especial findings are that, regardless of human concupiscence, (i) tyrannies are the most probable (evil) forms of classical government as well as the easiest ones to vanquish and (ii) monarchies are the most probable good forms of classical government, being preferable to all others both quantitatively and qualitatively, that is, probabilistically and ethico-metaphysically.
