Answer to Question 1
Because Socrates refused to demonstrate either remorse or respect for the power of the court, he was given the death penalty.
- Confronting death, Socrates is unwavering in his certainty that he has lived a life that is just and true, and he is secure in his confidence that no harm can come to one who has lived such a life. For a just and true individual, death cannot be something to be feared.
Answer to Question 2
At age 70, Socrates was charged with corrupting the youth and not believing in the state-approved gods. This was a cover for political opposition because he encouraged people to think for themselves rather than accept what authorities told them.
- Socrates responded to the charges by pointing out that those who accused him were liars and hypocrites, and (as with Meletus) using the Socratic Method of questioning and demanding clear definitions to key concepts in order to demonstrate that the charges made no sense.
