"The Constitution of the Athenians, also called the Athenian Constitution (Ancient Greek: Ἀθηναίων πολιτεία, romanized: Athēnaiōn Politeia), is a work by Aristotle or one of his students." (Constitution of the Athenians (Aristotle)
Though Aristotle is claimed to be the writer of the Athenian Constitution, many believe that the politics sections, arguably the most important section of the Athenian Constitution, was written by one of the his students. This is because there are inconstancy within the politics section of the Constitution. The constitution wrote of justice while during Aristotles life, they lived under oligarchy ruling.[1] Aristotle believed in a constitution the supported a strong middle class while the economy and government around him believed and represented different ideals.[2]

Janeth V.:
The Constitution of the Athenians (in ancient Greek Ἀθηναίων πολιτεία, Athenaion Politeia) describes the political system of ancient Athens. According to ancient sources, Aristotle compiled constitutions of 158 Greek states, of which the Constitution of the Athenians is the only one to survive intact.[3] Modern scholars dispute how much of the authorship of these constitutions can be attributed to Aristotle personally; he at least would have been assisted by his students.[4] Modern scholars continue discussing about the many constitutions Aristotle compiled, which include not only Greek, but also non-Greek states.[5] Speculations continue to arise that all the constitutions couldn't have been written by a singular person because many of the descriptions would have been brief and superficial.[5] Therefore, there are many deliberations to this day if Aristotle in reality wrote all 158 constitutions.
