Socrates in prison from The Greeks documentary

After Socrates had been found guilty of impiety and corrupting the morals of the city's youth, he was next invited to propose a suitable punishment.

This was a legal tradition in Athens and an opportunity for him to show remorse, and hopefully lessen his sentence. But asked what sort of punishment he thought he should receive, he responded with an answer that was nothing short of a death wish.

He argued that he should receive the highest honors of the city and be granted free meals at the public's expense, an honor reserved for Olympian athletes.

The outraged jury voted for his death by even greater majority than had found him guilty of his alleged crimes.

Led away to the city's prison house, his trial and last days became the subject of Plato's 'Crito & Phaedo'. Visited by many people, he faced the prospect of death with characteristic unconcern, and even refused to be rescued and smuggled abroad by a group of friends.

"The blood of the slain, the weeping voice of nature cries, ''tis time to part." When he wrote that, he was urging the colonies
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Great Britain.

Explanation:

The foregoing is an excerpt from Thomas Paine's prose on the separation of the United State of America from the "whims and caprices" of Great Britain. The prose emphasized that the relationship between England and America at that time was unequally yoked, and this was not meant to be. The author was of the view that there was an urgent need for separation of the two countries. According to him, even nature supports his argument, considering the proximity between the two countries and the time both countries were discovered.
