Constitut. Code

In this case if the phrase corruptive influence is be employed
it is by the laws and institutions themselves that the corruptive
influence must be said to have been applied:
applied to the individual in such manner as to have
given birth to been productive of the sinister effect.

, in this case, it may be imagined has done – both
to corruptors and corrupted are those same laws and institutions.

In this case it is not common for complaints of
corruption to have place to any considerable extent:
in general scarcely is it seen or so much as suspected
that in consequence of this state of things any serious mischief any considerable mischief
has place. Every man, as early as he has been taught
anything having been taught to regard as objects of the most prostrate
veneration and the most boundless confidence, those same sources and receptacles of corruption – those same instruments of depredation and oppression.

At the same time this is the case in which
mischief in by far the greatest has place in a quantity by far
greater than in the opposite case. It has place to
a greater extent, and to throughout the whole of its extent it is
been more effectually out of the reach of all care, and even
of restraint and palliative. For no one individual is perceptible
in whom it is possible without incurring
the appearance of injustice to fix in any shape the reproach imputation
of blame misconduct of misrule.

Nor yet is it true that in this case there exists not
any individual on whom without actual injustice blame
can not be fixt. On the contrary in this case, and to the
whole extent of it, whosoever be at any given point of time
the individuals exercising in chief the powers of government
in the word the rulers in them may the blame, the imputation of
misrule be fixt. Persons corrupted, this or that individual
perhaps even they those rulers themselves; persons corrupting at any rate
those same rulers.
