Aristotle thinks that aristocracy based Saylor Foundat @The Western

Question 4 / 59: Aristotle thinks that aristocracy based in virtue is superior to other forms of government, such as oligarchy or democracy. Which of the following reasons is false as to why he thinks this?

A Democrats mistakenly think of equal citizenship as the ground of worth, without regard to specialization
or virtue.

B Democrats mistakenly believe that the end of the state is freedom, and they identify the best
life with the life of freedom to satisfy one's desires.

C Oligarchs think that wealth—a characteristic in terms of which citizens are unequal—is
the ground of worth. They think so because they mistakenly think the end of the state is to
accumulate wealth and property, and they mistakenly identify the best life with the possession
of these external goods.

D Aristocrats are only capable of recognizing and understanding what is excellent and fine because
of inborn talents and abilities passed from one generation to the next.
