The execution of Socrates, the wisest man in Greece, filled Plato with contempt for democracy and believed that it had to be replaced by the rule of the wisest. That's why Plato was against democracy.

Socrates was one of the foremost philosophers of Greece. During his time there was great chaos in the political life of Athens which was a Greek City State. This resulted in the Athenian government condemning Socrates to death because of his teachings. According to Socrates, some beliefs are objectively true, some beliefs are objectively false.

Plato said every human being is endowed with three qualities though in different proportions. He said these qualities are Reason, which resides in a person's head, Spirit which resides in a persons heart and Appetite which resides in a person's stomach.

In Political Science, the most important concept around which the subject is built is The State. According to Plato in an Ideal State (i.e., the most suitable State for a human being to live in according to Plato) should be made up of three classes namely Ruling Class, Military Class and Economic Class.

Plato designed an education system based on various stages suited to the age of the students from childhood to adulthood. He also devised methods of eliminations as higher stages of education is reached by human beings depending on the proportion of the three parts of their souls namely reason, spirit and appetite. Persons who are found suited to fulfill economic duties of the State are separated from the ones suited for Ruling and Military services. In the second process of elimination, the persons suited for the ruling are given special training to become what Plato calls Philosopher Kings to rule his Ideal State.

Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that the physical world is not really the 'real' world; instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world. Plato's philosophy asserts that there are two realms: the physical realm and the spiritual realm. The physical realm is the material stuff we see and interact with on a daily basis; this physical realm is changing and imperfect, as we know all too well. The spiritual realm, however, exists beyond the physical realm. Plato calls this spiritual realm the Realm of Forms (also called the Realm of Ideas or Realm of Ideals). Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that the physical realm is only a shadow, or image, of the true reality of the Realm of Forms.

Social stratification refers to social differentiation whereby society groups people based on their class, economic status, occupation, power, religion caste etc. People are categorised as inferior and superior based on their social position.

Based on their position they are assigned different roles and status. Social stratification is done by society and it is not natural. Man for their own needs make groups and avail opportunities and as the result of social inequalities classification arises which categorises people.

Plato wrote in his book ‘The Republic’ on the Division of Labour. He said, “Human society is formed on natural inequalities. This natural inequality is based on division of labour”. A society’s need is fulfilled by different divisions of people. For example, the food is produced by farmers, cloth by weavers, and dresses are produced by tailors. The division of labour leads to organic merger of various sections of society. The Division of labour is necessary to fulfill the needs of social, economic and political needs of the society. But, there should be no exploitation in this process.

In his work, The Republic Plato had practically condemned Democracy. He had developed the idea that all were not fit to rule and that only the philosophers who had been specially trained for the purpose should rule. He said this because it was Athenian Democracy which condemned his teacher Socrates to death.

He said true justice is that these three parts should do their rightful business in order to make a human being whole.
