The Athenian court
The Athenian court puts Socrates on trial for undermining the state's religion and corrupting the youths. He defends himself not guilty by emphasizing the importance of obeying the Gods rather than obeying the state in "Apology". But after he is sentenced to death in "Crito", he argues with Crito that it is wrong for one to disobey the law of the state no matter the law is justice or injustice. Although he does contradict himself verbally in these two arguments by claiming completely opposite opinions of obeying the state, he never contradicts his belief nor does any harm to his soul, reversely, he consists his belief very well.
