Constitution of Carthage

The Constitution of Carthage refers to the political and governmental system of ancient Carthage during the Punic period, known chiefly through Aristotle's Politics, which he singled out as the only detailed account of its time of a non-Greek people's political institutions. Aristotle described it as a mixed constitution combining a monarchical element in two suffetes, an aristocratic element in a Senate, and a democratic element in an assembly of the people, and praised it as balanced and displaying the best features of several types of government, though the details of how it actually functioned and changed over time remain debated among historians.
