Questions: Which two criteria does Aristotle use to classify regime types? The culture that supports distribution of power in the regime The number of people in power Whether power is used for the public interest or for the private interest of the ruler The founding myths on which the regime is based

The two criteria Aristotle uses to classify regime types are:

1. The number of people in power
2. Whether power is used for the public interest or for the private interest of the ruler

Explanation:

1. The number of people in power: Aristotle categorizes regimes based on how many individuals hold power. He identifies three primary forms: rule by one (monarchy or tyranny), rule by a few (aristocracy or oligarchy), and rule by many (polity or democracy).

2. Whether power is used for the public interest or for the private interest of the ruler: Aristotle further distinguishes regimes based on the purpose for which power is exercised. If the rulers govern for the common good, the regime is considered just (e.g., monarchy, aristocracy, polity). If the rulers govern for their own benefit, the regime is considered unjust (e.g., tyranny, oligarchy, democracy).

The other options, "The culture that supports distribution of power in the regime" and "The founding myths on which the regime is based," are not criteria Aristotle uses in his classification of regime types.
