The Politics by Aristotle by Thomas Alan Sinclair, Trevor J. Saunders

According to the Aristotles views a man is by nature a Political animal and all Human beings are divided into two categories that are a Master and Slave. Master is Superior in the society. Slave is defined as a live tool for the master, a tool to perform actions determined by the master. A slave is not a free person. He should obey his master like an animal by controlling over his emotions. Certain slavery is natural and some by Human force.

A Human being by nature belongs not to himself but to another in Superior position is called as Natural slave. A Natural slave is a live tool for the master for the purpose of life and action. He is living piece of his masters property.

Legal slaves are achieved when men fitted for mastership became slaves when they are captured in wars. Some of them are defenders and some are attackers. There includes difference in opinions in legal slave due to virtue or moral of that person and victory over the war.

A best constitution should be sovereign, give absolute justice for all the people and all the citizens should abide by the rules formed by the constitution. Citizens are inferior to rulers and are similar to slaves. A legal slave may work like a protector or rival of the master. Citizen with this outlook will not form a good constitution. Even if they form, it will last for few days and is devastating for nation.

A natural slave obeys the order of the master and then he put his heart and soul for masters organisation. Citizens with this way of thinking will construct the Best constitution. In turn it builds a good nation. Citizens with mentality of natural slaves are best suited for the constitution of any country.
