Aristotle's governors optimal qualities must reflect on states' Constitutions and Laws.

What would
built up a man able for ruling? Could it be his inner will to take the path of fulfill the human
purpose of happiness according to Aristotle? Would it be just for himself or also for his fellow
kin? Would it be enough to become a proper ruler, a desirable leader?.

Starting from an inductive perspective, a virtuous leader pursues happiness (eudaimonia) as

the highest goal for his citizens and the staple tool of configure friendship, being it understood as
close relationship between virtuous activity and the fact that human beings are "social animals"
configured to settle and live in harmony between each other as their main aim.

Thus, the indispensable foundations of the path to improve the city-state's life are those Virtues
present in Greek anthropological environment since Homer's time, five centuries before Aristotle's
Elysium opened its doors.

On one hand, an efficient leader should seek for his citizens to develop both intellectual and ethical
virtues conforming a fertile soil in the minds and souls that would allow fair laws to arise and
conform a healthy and prosper society.

So, the main desirable virtues in a ruler that would inspire the population are, in first place; Sophia
(theoretical wisdom) considered as the ability to perform a safe sailing on a sea plenty of
complex social situations with a calm, reflexive and cultivated mind.

Another landmark is "Phronesis" (Temperance or practical wisdom) considered as the fine

marksmanship on take the right choice at the right chance. Neither too much, nor too little.

On the other hand, Courage; understood as vitality, power and will upon adversities and
unbeatable desire to accomplish the call of duty is the key to military supremacy and the very soul
of cities like Sparta, correlated to manliness. Furthermore, The Roman concept of "Vis", praised
by Cato, Cicero and even Marcus Aurelius, took its roots from this concept.

Although, maybe the most important virtue for whom outmost political affairs weight fall upon
his shoulders would be Justice. Understood both as general when is related to other human beings
and particular when relies on acts and actions that involves society, that is the reason due Aristotle
defined it as the disposition whereby human beings are capable of commit fair acts and whereby
are liable and willing to perform good actions. He considered, henceforth, Justice as the whole and
perfect Virtue.

Nonetheless, Aristotle was conscious about injustice as an input that helps to understand what and
how to avoid related to ethics. As well as Justice, exists a total injustice carried out by anyone
strayed out of the virtue path and a partial one related to personal honor, wealth and social status.

So, how Justice balances and initiates its key influence? Hence, the Constitution of an State is the
reflection of its social progress, moral wealthy and military power. Aristotle's social
taxonomy takes a solid posture considering the State as equalizer of the life of its citizens by
essential laws whose essence is Justice under a holistic view that conforms a stable and
prosper society.

It is therefore, that Aristotle's main political research body was built upon studying and comparing
different political orders amongst several city-states focusing on Athens and Sparta. Both
Constitutions (Politeia) were held upon the highest purpose; city welfare and supremacy over its
neighbours.

Meanwhile in the Lacedaemonian political order, Royalty adopted as monarchy and diarchy was
the stablished regime in order to provide a regular social control as well as a military
overwhelming and prominent power over by two General-kings elected based on capabilities and
meritocracy for the common good. The Great Rethra, as it was named, was the best of
Constitutions according to Aristotle's classification. It is believed to have been formulated and
established orally by the legendary lawgiver, Lycurgus.

Although in Athens, democracy understood as a corruption of a pure Constitutional government

emphasizes qualification based on property and all citizens contributes on magistracies under the
soveregnity of the law and multitude, those decrees are supreme and above the law. That means
above Justice on Aristotle's perspective and it goes against natural order of Virtue.

Which factor could be determinant in order to enhance a political order boosted by Justice?
Eunomia, understood as "governance according to good laws", besides being a so-called godness;
it is equanimy under law order. The cornerstone of good society must be held and maintained by
habit and exemplified on first instance by leaders.
Those facts lead to consider whether is it possible to develop a society based on Eunomia and if
was it considered by not only Greeks but also other Peoples as a requisite for a true grit society.
