Why does Plato believe that philosophers would make the best rulers? What men would make poor ruler?

A: Plato believe that philosophers would make the best rulers because, according to Plato, they have knowledge of truth that others do not and only they can make crucial decisions about what is best for the city-state. To Plato, a poor ruler would be the opposite of that.
