Exercise 12

If a senator trades his or her vote on an issue for a $10,000 payment, would you consider this corruption? If a senator votes a certain way in "exchange" for a $10,000 contribution to his or her political campaign, would you consider this corruption? Is there a major difference between the two? Discuss.
