As to the prevention or even diminution of corruption, nothing in
such a government so constituted can be more plainly or everlastingly
to prevent the effect of corruption it plainly impossible: since
on the part of the corruptor by no physical not be, or commonly is produced whatever of any power used have or commonly has place

All Of all means arrangements employed for the professed purpose of
excluding it or diminish it by the means of punishment the effect if any is to give
