The craftspeople build and create, the auxiliaries defend the city, and the rulers rule.

Justice in the soul is each part of the soul doing what it is supposed to be doing. All three levels of society are able to contain justice in the soul.

Because justice in the state is essentially one person-one art, one of the two principles that the city was built on, justice first entered the state the second the first city was created.
