Answer:

Democracy components rely on peoples will and institutions in Greece namely: the Assembly of the Demos, the Council of 500, and the People's Court. Plato strongly opposes democracy,

Step-by-step explanation:

Plato strongly opposes democracy, since he believes people are not educated enough to choose correctly and seek for their future, then he believes the aristocratic rule is preferable with the advice of philosophers kings coming as leaders of the peoples.

Plato proposes a Republic Democracy, often criticized for having authoritarian characteristics, since his political philosophy only conceives certain individuals with the ability and capacity for ruling over others.

According to Plato, and ideal ruler is a philosopher-king who is wise and also virtuoso and selfless, then is the only one capable to seek combat corruption and the well being and future of society.
