Socrates argues that since the state has raised and educated him, he owes the state obedience. By remaining in the state when he is free to leave, he has agreed inevitably to be bound by the rules of the state.
What should we do if the state is unjust?
Socrates argues that it is wrong for him to escape even if his imprisonment is unjust, apparently the injustice
of the state does not allow a citizen to act unjustly in return.
But I have this thought: He says it's wrong for him to escape, so doesn't that right there say that he's guilty?
I commented on Brittany's.
