Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Corrupt Practices Legislation in Iowa The fact that social and political innovations are frequently in advance of the prevailing code of public morality is clearly illustrated in the history of popular elections. During the last century the suffrage expanded so much and popular elections multiplied so rapidly that the purity of the ballot has not been adequately protected by the development of an extra-legal code of public morality. And so, there has grown up a body of legislation, known as "corrupt practices acts", which aims to prevent various illegal and corrupt practices connected with popular elections - such as "illegal voting", "bribery", "undue influence", "intimidation", "personation", "treating", "betting on election results", and "improper campaign contributions and expenditures". It is doubtless true that corrupt practices legislation must remain more or less ineffective until supported by an elevated public sentiment which will set its face resolutely against all forms of political corruption. At the same time the enactment of comprehensive corrupt practices acts will greatly aid in the development of a wholesome public opinion.
