Answer:

Plato rejected Athenian democracy because it had condemned others, such as Socrates, and along with how it tended to other excesses. Plato's Republic presents a critical view of democracy through the narration of Socrates: "Democracy, which is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequaled alike." The first, rather obvious, strike against Athenian democracy is that there was a tendency for people to be casually executed. It is understandable why Plato would despise democracy, considering that his friend and mentor, Socrates, was condemned to death by the policy makers of Athens in 399 BCE

Did the election of Reagan indicate a change in political party alignment?

yarga [219]

It did. Suddenly everyone became a republican, even the states that were commonly democratic. Regan won so hard and was so popular that nobody was even close to him. He even won states like California and had 525 electors. This created a new era of conservatism and the US turned to republicans.
