The council has fallen. The walls are still standing. So who makes the city? Write a charter for Kallia, hear six residents challenge it, and work through Aristotle’s arguments about citizenship, justice, virtue, and rule. Decide who belongs, trace who holds power, and defend your reasons against an objection. The ideas arrive as you need them; no prior Aristotle reading is required.

The activity teaches the concepts as you go. Your instructor assesses the written arguments. Two brief factual detours offer another example when a distinction needs attention. Work saves in this browser; download a backup before a break. Exporting a report does not submit it to your course.
About 70 minutes is a design estimate; allow extra time and a pause. Students write 11 short reasons and five extended arguments. Completion checks record required work. Assess reconstruction, accurate distinctions, case application, and a serious objection. Students can reject Aristotle while demonstrating strong understanding.
