I'm not sure what you are looking for that is specific to the Apology or Crito, but generally speaking he objected to democracy or any kind of government that did not conform to his ideal of a perfect republic led by philosophers. He believed there should be rule of the wise, not rule of the majority. The governments of his day were, he believed, essentially foolish and corrupt. (And if modern-day governments are any indication, I suspect that he was probably right.)
