Corrupti Taken in the most extensive sense of
which it is susceptible – corruption – political corruption – may
be said to have place in any case in so far as in consequence
of the state of the law in any respect, the interest of any member
of the community being placed finding itself in a state of opposition to the interests
of the greatest happiness of the greatest number, he yields
to the force of that sinister interest, and, by so doing, gives, or endeavours
to give, advancement to that same sinister interest,
doing, at the same time by that same act, disservice
to a greater amount to that same universal interest.

In a narrower less ample and more ordinary sense,
the use of the word corruption – political corruption – is
confined to the case where the individual is considered as
standing in the situation of a public functionary. In

In a Country subject to a mixt Monarchy,
or to any government in the composition of which, a
body of men, considered as representatives of the whole or
of any part of the body of the people have a share, it is
most commonly employed in a still less ample sense, being confined
to the case where the individual in question is considered
in the character – either of a representative of the
people, or of a person possessing a vote in the election
of some such representative.
