Abstract :Many political scholars believe that a powerful political-administrative is obligatory for a good political system/government as a legislature responsive to well-accepted demand. They also note that the accurate form of government is where the many, or the one, or the few, can govern the political system which is based on common interest, which forms mixed political system/government. This paper will explain: the concept and political philosophy of the government by highlighting the role of a mixed political system/government as a central point between both classical and modern theories of political system/government within these eras of republican practice. The first part of this research paper will explain the concept of a mixed political system or government by highlighting its probable consequence in the contemporary political system/thought. The next part of this paper covers the argument-based analysis of different theorists: Cicero, Guicciardini, Aristotle, Aquinas, Mosca and Machiavelli.
