Constitut. Code

6. This being the case, to establish institute any official establishment,
is to by law is to establish institute corruption by law: to found lay the
foundation of the a government more or less corrupt.

7. A natur conception naturally and commonly entertained
is, that for official corruption to have place two parties at
least are necessary – a corruptor party corrupting and, and a corruptee party corrupted. But that
no such duplicity distinction is necessary will soon be visible. For that
for pr the production of all the whatever sinister effect is producible by
official corruption power in the hands of a single individual is sufficient will also be
visible & sufficient; and if there were any difference, it the effect would be in
this case be still more sure.

This case is that of self-corruption of which more particularly
presently. In this case is that a This state is in every absolute Monarchy is that of the
Monarch. He is both giver and receiver Corruptor and Corree both giver of the external instruments
of corruption: receiver of the fruits of it – the fruits of depredation
and the pleasure of oppressing. In this case likewise in almost perhaps all many are
government subordinate functionaries in various classes and grades placed with
8. Another or without danger planned or left: left in every case in which
their interest is placed in a state of opposition to that of the duty
in which after everything that which from the violation of their duty can be suffered by them has been
suffered they are left in a state of net profit from it is left to them.

In the supposition that for the production generation exercise of an act of corruption
two parties are necessary is implicitly involved the supposition
that a sort of case between such two parties the function of a sort of contract
is necessary. But that no such contract is necessary – and that
any the utmost quantity of corruption produced by or with a correspondent
contract is to the quantity that has place without anything
that can with propriety be called a contract, will also be sufficiently
visible. To the formation of a contract, intercourse between the two
or given parties – intercourse immediate or intermediate is necessary. But to the
production of an act of corruption no intercourse with any other individual is on the part of the individual corrupted
necessary will be clearly also
be visible.
