THE BEST GOVERNMENT BASED ON CICERO’S DE RE PUBLICA AND DE LEGIBUS
Abstract
In Cicero’s De re publica and De legibus, Cicero established that nature would determine an
ideal state but given human nature, this ideal cannot be achieved. I will discuss what kind of
political organization Cicero proposes as best suited to human nature, what ways it departs
from the ideal and what it preserves.
