    Plato.

    Plato (b. 428 BC) In his work The Republic, Plato describes his ideal form of government and society. Plato attacked democracy as mob rule where the ignorant and uneducated majority governs, but he also disliked autocracy as being too likely to become tyranny. Plato believed that the best government would be ruled by philosopher-kings, the most educated and smartest people in society. These kings would NOT be hereditary, but would be chosen by the people based on their individual talent. There would also be a careful division of labor so that the rulers would not be warriors or workers and vice-versa. Plato argued that the state exists based on the consent of the people and should act for their good, but in the end the peoples primary duty is obedience
