Answer: less willing to believe that people could consult their consciences to discover what is right.

Explanation: Socrates and Plato were great philosophers of the ancient world.

Socrates was a tutor to Plato.

Socrates is generally known as the pioneer of western philosophy but most of what we know are really from Plato. Socrates' main focus in his teaching was on how to live a good and virtuous life.

Socrates and Plato as tutor and students respectively have a lot in common and one of them is that they were less willing to believe that people could consult their consciences to discover what is right.
