Anti-Corruption Safeguards

Why Safeguards?

"...but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." — Declaration of Independence, 1776
