Explanation:

In Plato's ideal just - society as described in The Republic, rulers (philosopher - kings) are supposed to be self - sacrificing and put the needs of the society above their own. Also, the society is structured such that individuals are assigned to classes based on their natural abilities. Leaders (philosopher - kings) are expected to give up personal wealth and certain forms of personal happiness for the greater good of the society. While it is an ideal society, Plato did not necessarily present it as a model for other existing societies to directly imitate in all aspects.

Answer:

• Rulers put the needs of the people above their own.
• Anyone can belong to any class based on their abilities.
• Leaders give up wealth and happiness.
