The correct answer to the question is option 3: Aristotle. In his work titled "Politics," Aristotle discussed the importance of good citizenship in the functioning of a state. According to Aristotle, the actions and behaviors of individual citizens have a direct impact on the overall well-being of the state. He believed that a good citizen is someone who actively participates in the affairs of the state, follows its laws, and contributes to the common good. On the other hand, a bad citizen is someone who neglects their civic responsibilities and acts in a way that harms the state. Aristotle`s statement highlights the interdependence between the individual and the state, suggesting that the quality of the state is determined by the collective actions of its citizens.
