His political system was based on his concept of the tripartite soul. The base hunger, ruled by the stomach, was the merchant and worker class at the bottom and contained the bulk of the people. The spirit of honor and glory, ruled by the heart, was the military class between the people and the rulers who enforced laws. And the reason, ruled by the head, made the laws and served as judges. So the military class was between the philosophers and the rest of the people and were responsible for getting shit done.
