    When are we justified in breaking the law? In the case of Socrates I believe him breaking the law was justifiable‚ although I don’t believe what he did was really breaking the law especially today in modern government. Today we are free with our speech‚ press and free to do what we want within limitations of laws. According to Mill “The only freedom which deserves the name‚ is that of pursuing our own good in our own way‚ so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs‚ or impede

    Socrates and Voltaire seem to both share the idea that there could be a supreme being in the universe‚ but they differed on opinion for the relationship between reasoning and religion.
