Polybius Cycle

Please record all answers in your spiral:


1. Finish up your journal topic about Fairness/Efficiency if you have not.
2. Now that you have seen Polybius' cycle, answer the following questions:
  • How does this compare to what you predicted?
  • Do you agree with his cycle? Why or why not?
  • Try to find some proof either way. Proof may come from your history book (thinking about our country) or encyclopedia (thinking about other countries).

DUE: TOMORROW

Cycle of Government

Polybius said governments necessarily follow a cycle:
  • Predict the cycle using the ideologies on your vocab page.
    • (hint: use only ideologies with Greek etymology)
  • Which gov't type would be first? What would it go to next? Would there be other types to follow? When/why would it go back to the first type?
  • Why do you think his cycle is this way?
(Min=2 paragraphs or so) DUE: MONDAY

DO NOT LOOK UP INFO ON POLYBIUS' CYCLE BECAUSE THEN IT WILL BE NO FUN TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE RIGHT!!!
