Ap world history question
socrates is most critical of the athenian government because he thinks it
a.) is too willing to condemn people to death
b.) expects all people to be just alike
c.) fails to treat all people equally
d.) suffers from too much individualism

The answer to this question is (D) suffers from too much individualism.

His dislike towards this might be due to his rejection of democracy – which he considers as one of the worst forms of governments. This was exemplified in Plato’s Republic, where Socrates states his dislike of democracy. This was also a view that Plato and Aristotle shared. Socrates himself was executed based on democratic principles – which was one of the founding reason why Plato hated the idea of an uncontrolled democracy.
