@ELYASELYAS Because the people around then see what happens to you if you don't change the principles, (that is, you die) it would seem natural that they would fear to do so themselves and would more likely submit to the the government.
It's understandable that a man like Socrates (old, no children) chose death rather than denying his ideals, but what about a person who has to care for his children? That kind of person will likely upon seeing something like this submit to the government.
this is great. what is it from? there seems like there would be more to this.

He is talking about the comedy by Aristophanes called "The Clouds" which depicted Socrates as a crazed corrupter of Athenian youth. The play was popular in Athens when Socrates was about 40 or so. His trial was about 30 years later.
