Wouldn't it take a moral government to create laws that would stifle corruption? And if it is in our nature to be corrupt and only want the best for ourselves, wouldn't this be impossible?
Even if it was possible for a "moral government to exist"
It would be necessary to start from the basis that a human group is able to access and utilize all knowledge in order to be able to consider and implement all of the possible laws necessary to completely stifle corruption.
Thus laws can help to limit the extent of corruption but they are incapable of rendering corruption completely impotent.
Consequently the question of whether or not corruption can be legally stopped is obviously impossible, and so as an alternative perhaps corruption could be combated via a combination of moral and legal codes. Though ultimately if corruption is merely human nature both would be hopelessly ineffective.
