Socrates believes he has been useful to Athens because he challenged the beliefs and values of his fellow citizens, encouraging them to think critically and question their assumptions.

Socrates believes he has made an agreement with the Laws rather than his fellow citizens because he has benefited from living under the laws of Athens, which have allowed him to exist and engage in philosophical pursuits. By choosing to abide by the laws, he has implicitly agreed to accept their authority and judgments, even in the face of potential unjust treatment.
Socrates called himself a gadfly because he believed his role in society was to challenge, provoke, and stimulate critical thinking in others. Just like a gadfly's sting can prompt a horse into action, Socrates sought to awaken and stimulate the minds of his fellow citizens.
Socrates by trade was a stonemason and sculptor, but he is most well-known for his philosophical teachings and contributions to Western philosophy. He did not formally train as a philosopher but became a prominent figure through his questioning of his fellow citizens in Athens.
According to Plato in the Apology, his teacher Socrates was convicted of 1.) Corrupting the youth and 2.) disrespecting the gods.
