Kingship and tyranny are the two instances of a monarchy that fit well into Aristotle's classical sixfold model of regimes. If one looks closer at some defining aspects of kingship and tyranny, then in many respects they seem to be understood in a unique way when compared to the other regimes. An inquiry into the constitutional status, the kind of rule and the relative valuation shows that monarchies can be set apart from the other regimes from the sixfold model. This indicates in its entirety problematic position of one-man rule in Aristotle’s political thought.
