Answer:

Principle of corruption. The evience is 18 U.S.C.,  201(b)

Explanation:

Bribery is reconginzed as one of the five concepts of corruption. The other four are: Inequality, drowned voices, disprited public, loss of integrity.

The Principle of Corruption can be seen in the scenario and the evidence that proves this is the use of bribery to change the local political body.

Why is bribery an act of corruption?

  • Because it interferes with democratic concepts.
  • Because it modifies the body politic without taking into account the concepts of federalism.
  • Because it disobeys the laws established in the country.

The political body of a country is established by popular vote as the democratic concept and federalism determine. This allows all citizens to be responsible and participate in their country's political process.

For this reason, acts such as bribery to modify the political body or interfere in democratic processes is an act of corruption and violates the legal principles of the country.
