However, in different political organization, there are different
constitutions applied. Nevertheless, the application of justice lies
in the governing principles of the constitution of that particular
state. Justice therefore always implies “Justice for whom.†Here
Aristotle seems to make justice relative. However, he holds that though
justice is often determined by a particular circumstance, there is on
the whole a particular justice which other relative justice of different
constitutions must square up to. This is the absolute justice; that
which justifies any constitution. But since it aims towards the common
good, it is guided by law and morality. Chapter three will concern
itself with justice vis-Ã -vis revolution in the state. Here we shall
look into the consequence of the absence of justice in the state. And
if justice is necessary for the stability of any political organization,
how do we restore it? Moreover, since the problem of political
stability depends on good rulership, it follows that present and future
leaders must be educated and trained on the acquisition and practice of
justice. Hence the relevance of education and political awareness
towards upholding justice and stability of government in the state.
Finally, we shall end the work with chapter four which will deal with
evaluation and conclusion of all that has been said.
