Who is justified in ruling, the person who was elected to rule? Or the person “fit” to rule? And what is the difference? Does power corrupt as Thrasymachus asserts in The Republic?

For the quoted passages, no need to supply a Works Cited page; simply provide the web link/source of the article. Also, use relatively short quotes of no more than three sentences in length.

3.) Also, in the final part of the entry, identify an important question that is raised in the theory for classmates to consider. For example, in Marx’s theory, the question was raised as to the distinction between the bourgeoise and the proletariat; in particular that one is oppressing the other. Marx theory suggests that this distinction should be more manageable if not eliminated completely. Ask your classmates a question and be sure to offer an attempt to answer the question that is posed in at least one full paragraph.

example questions:

Are class distinctions unjust?
What is the source of the various social classes? Are they natural or a result of social forces?
Is it possible to create a “fair” or “just” society?
What is a desirable state/form of equality? Equality of outcome? Or equality of opportunity?
Are humans in a “state of nature” more like the brutes that Hobbes describes or the “noble savages” that Rousseau describes?
