What was the role of philosophers in the establishment of the ideal state according to Plato? Educate citizens to make decisions in their own and society’s best interests. Philosophers are the Guardians of the people, and as such should be obeyed without question. Through their studies, philosophers were gifted with the power to write laws. Philosophers should advise kings, who are the only ones who can rule the state.

Philosophers are the Guardians of the people, and as such should be obeyed without question.

Explanation:

Plato was in favor of a political system in which a group of a few philosophers would rule over everyone else. These people would be the philosopher-kings, who would be so wise and knowledgeable, that their decisions and rulings should go unquestioned by everyone else.

unbeknownst to the slave-ship captains, the daily dancing and exercise regime and vernacular dance are also derived from america's african-based slave legacy. both are african-american cuisines from the slavery era.

explanation:

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
