Detailed explanation-1: -Socrates objected to democracy because he believed that the masses were uneducated’ and because of this, were susceptible to ‘wine. ‘ Plato and Socrates both argued that the ‘uneducated’ masses were unfit to both elect a ruler and to vote for the best policy.
Detailed explanation-2: -What did Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle think of democracy? Socrates defended the democratic system, even as it condemned him to death. Plato deeply distrusted democracy. Aristotle feared the democracy could lead to mob rule, although he favored stable and just rule by the many in what he called a polity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plato rejected Athenian democracy because it had condemned others, such as Socrates, and along with how it tended to other excesses. Plato’s government was comprised of Workers to produce the necessities of life, soldiers to defend the state, and philosophers to rule.
