What is the Tripartite Theory of knowledge?

The Tripartite Theory of knowledge states that if a belief is true and that we are justified in holding this belief then it is knowledge. The belief here comes in the form of a propositional concept held as a mental state which states something which is true and this is justified by evidence in the world. This theory is abbreviated to hold that knowledge is justified true belief.
