Plato was actually a student of Socrates. Their ideals were
almost similar but they did differ as far as their opinion on democracy was
concerned. Socrates was a great believer in democracy. He was of the opinion
that the people possessed real knowledge and all good things were within the

Republic Democracy, which is a mixture of democracy and oligarchy.
