Question:

What is Socrates' argument for always obeying the law? Try to set it out clearly and simply.?

Give a critical assessment of this argument -- do you agree with it? Why or why not? Explain clearly.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Socrates, Crito, and the personification of the Law were his main beliefs and why he accepted his sentence. He believed The Law was right and just and strongly as a lesser person would view a living being, one that must be obeyed. If he had not, we may never have heard of his beliefs, ones that he died for to maintain his integrity.
