Abstract
At present, in most civilized countries, political ethics is taken as a very important matter and seems a difficult thing. Politicians are so accustomed to receive a lot of money as the political contribution. But their attitude invites much suspicion about their motives. The political ethics we have today will never be too easy to preserve. If we want to find out the value of political ethics, see the law situations in the United States of America, England, and Germany. In these countries, except for political parties, political ethics forbids enterprises to contribute a large sum of money to politicians. But, in Japan, the legal system of political ethics is insufficient to prevent corruption. f politics today seems to deteriorate, if it seems to become more and more chaotic and meaningless, it is primarily because we have no settled and satisfactory arrangement for political contributions, and because we have both vague and diverse legal policies about the prevention of corruption. The first essential institutions will be established institutions for the prevention of political corruption. So, it is only through criminal punishment and administrative sanctions that a way out can be found from the danger with which political corruption is threatening democracy. We will find out that it is worth while to strengthen the articles against bribery, that it is worth while to establish a third surveillance organization, and that other sanctions provide us practical and effective measures. This paper contains the following items: 1.Introduction 2.Situations of Political Ethics and Punishment 3.The Political Contribution and the Bribe 4.The Conception of Bribes 5.Conclusion
