Aristotle referred to a government ruled by the many as "polity." In his classification of governments, he distinguished between true forms and their corruptions, with polity being a legitimate form where the many govern for the common good, contrasting it with the corrupt form of democracy, where the majority may pursue their own interests at the expense of the common good.
