Plato was critical of democracy, believing it tended to lead to chaos and instability. He preferred a system of government led by philosopher-kings who were guided by reason and wisdom, rather than the fluctuating opinions of the masses. Plato feared that democracy could easily be influenced by demagogues and lead to the tyranny of the majority.
