I think Socrates wouldn't had been killed if he lived in the United States today since citizens of the United States have freedom of speech. Socrates was simply killed because he didn't recognized the gods recognized by the states as gods. In the United States Socrates has freedom speech meaning that he is able to publicly criticized the gods without any danger. He corrupted the youths of Athens by saying the gods they followed are faked. In the United States today, he would still be alive. I based my answer on today's political system and the how Socrates was killed simply by telling the people what he really believes.
