You get 25 points hel!! 1. Socrates' accusers claim that he is teaching young people to question their constitution. Why do the accusers say this is an example of Socrates being a bad influence on the young?

2. What does Socrates say is the main idea he teaches?

3. Who do you think makes the stronger argument, Socrates or his accusers?

4. Socrates was given the opportunity to suggest his own punishment and could probably have avoided death by recommending exile. He did not, and the jury chose the death sentence for Socrates. Athenian law prescribed death by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. Why do you think Socrates chose execution over exile?
