The main character of Plato's Crito, Socrates, attempts to identify obligations a citizen has before the state in which he lives. Socrates clearly states that one cannot break a law because it will hurt the state. It will show that the law is weak and that the government has no real power behind it.
Socrates was one of the first true intellectuals in human history. Socrates was a revolutionary thinker in that he recognized the benefits and importance of studying philosophical elements instead of devoting his life to religion.
Socrates was innocent of believing in other gods and corrupting the youth of Athens. While he was tried and sentenced to death, it is clear he did not preach for profit or personal gain, and fully upheld the laws of the fledgling Athenian democracy.
Socrates and Glaucon concluded that there is no such thing as perfection that is of this earth. Yet, it is the goal of humanity to continue to work towards this state of perfection.
