Aristotle, as qouted by Carnes:
> ............  This enables us to distinguish five varieties of
> democracy, in a descending scale which ends in "extreme democracy" --
> a variety of democracy, analogous to tyranny, where law has ceased to
> be sovereign and the notion of a constitution has practically
> disappeared.
