What Is The Counter Argument To Crito

In the dialogue Crito, Crito is making the argument to Socrate that he needs to escape jail, because he is an innocent man, that he doesn’t deserve to die, and that he needs to leave before he loses his life. While, Socrate counter argues that he must stay in jail and reserve the punishment that they voted for him, because for him to ran and escape jail that in itself is injustice even if he is in fact an innocent man. In Socrate’s counter argument he proclaims that if he and Crito came up with a plan to help him escape they would have to come up with unjust solutions to get him out, and those solutions would involve actually corrupting more innocent men, and if caught they would also be prosecuted, and this would be enforcing the accusations
Another point he made to Crito about why he shouldn’t even attempt to escape jail and his sentence, he claims that him and the state have made an agreement. He refuses to go against the state, and for him to escape and just run from the state’s judgement, that would make him an unloyal man to his
The state says that they brought all of them into the world, that they have educated everyone in the state, and have given him and all the fellow citizens a share of all the goods that they could. Even though, that the state gives everyone what seems to be an equal share of everything, they don’t hold anyone hostage, meaning that if anyone ever wasn’t happy or satisfied with the state they had an option to leave with all the goods the state has provided, and just get their stuff and leave to any other state that they think they’d rather live at. All that the state asked was if you stay you obey by the administrative laws that have been put into action, and you must be satisfied with the state and just so respect, and understand once a person does an action towards the state that is injustice they have to accept the punishment. The state even gives the opportunity during trial to accept the option to be exiled, which means that they would live the state and never return as long as they live, and if the person being accused denies the option of exile he must go through the trial and accept whatever ruling is decided, even including being put to death. Before Socrate tried to explain his intentions in the trail he was given the chance just like any other
