Socrates was put on trial because he was charged with crimes. The first was “corrupting the youth.” (43) The second was “refusing to acknowledge the gods acknowledged by the city.” (43) The third count was “introducing new divinities.” (43) The reason Socrates was put on trial was because he was going around challenging men about their knowledge and wisdom.
