〈緇衣〉承繼孔子「為政以德」思想，並對「人君之德」的內涵與影響有深入的闡釋。人君之德包括：以仁為好惡，謹言慎行，並當多聞精知，乃能言之有物。其次，由於「上行下效」的人性趨向，使得人君有其社會教化的責任，故人君當彰善而惡惡，舉賢而斥不肖，言行上更當思其始末，勿流於空言，乃得為人民之表率。〈緇衣〉發展孔子「君君、臣臣、父父、子子」之說，提出「大臣、邇臣、遠臣」的對待之道；在君民關係上，指出「民以君為心，君以民為體」為休戚一體的關係。〈緇衣〉深刻論述人君當具道德修養，並當負起對社會「上行下效」的影響力，〈緇衣〉表現先秦儒家在德治思想上的進展，其所論人君之德及其對社會的影響力，也影響後世中國社會深遠，更是歷代上位者自我期許之要求。
