Corruption in the Constitution

Though corruption is not blatantly addressed in the constitution, there is evidence of anti-corruption measures embedded in it's most essential framework.
The system of checks and balances has anti-corruption at it's heart. With a multitude of representatives, senators, justices and leaders, corruption is hard pressed to find a weak point in the governments foundation. These failsafes create an environment so that only a fraction of the attempted corruption in our government seeps through the cracks, and more often than not, the leak is detected and repaired.
The founding fathers created an instruction kit to attack these "leaks" in our foundation. Criminal Statuses, impeachment, and ethical proscriptions have given defenders of American democracy a clear process to combat corruption. Without this rigidity, it would be possible for corruption to be swept under the rug, only furthering the problem.
Due to the founding fathers insight into the mind of man, motivated by self interest, our constitution is laced with a battle plan against corruption, making our democratic system one of the strongest against corruption in the world.



Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers; but if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her. I know that the great volcano at Washington, aroused and directed by the evil spirit that reigns there, is belching forth the lava of political corruption in a current broad and deep, which is sweeping with frightful velocity over the whole length and breadth of the land, bidding fair to leave unscathed no green spot or living thing; while on its bosom are riding, like demons on the waves of hell, the imps of that evil spirit, and fiendishly taunting all those who dare resist its destroying course with the hopelessness of their effort; and, knowing this, I cannot deny that all may be swept away. Broken by it I, too, may be; bow to it I never will."
President Abraham Lincoln, Speech, Springfield, Illinois, Dec 20, 1839.
