In aristocracies rulers sometimes endeavor to corrupt the people-In democracies rulers frequently show themselves to be corrupt-In the former their vices are directly prejudicial to the morality of the people-In the latter their indirect influence is still more pernicious.
Aristokrazietan, batzuetan besteak usteltzen saiatzen dira gobernariak.-Demokrazietan, sarri beraiek agertzen dira ustelduta.-Lehenengoetan, bizioek zuzenean erasotzen diote herriaren moraltasunari.-Bigarrenetan, zeharkako eragina dute herriarengan, are beldurgarriagoa dena.
