Explain why Socrates was arrested
How did he respond to the charges against him?
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.
