The anatomy of a society

Lawmakers
The ultimate pharisees.  They make "official" the beliefs, dogmas, and prejudices of the given culture as well as whatever current trendy prejudices and dogmas the "majority" has recently adapted

Civilian Soldiers
The hatchetmen who enforce and carry out the will of the majority, the favored, the privileged, all the "normals".
The ones who track down and punish and/or banish the heretics, outcasts, unwanted and undesirable groups and individuals on behalf of both the "normals" and social protocols of the established "system" of their society

Judges
Modern-day "Pilates".  They make the final decisions on what to do with or how to handle the dissidents, always catering to the pharisees, the majority and the civilian soldiers and proper authorities

The Majority
The rabble, the plebeians, the elitists, and the upper echelon who unofficially "rule" their societies even though they're supposed to be the "common" citizens.  And always at the expense of the outcasts and dissidents.
