Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bribery is the act of giving or receiving something of value in exchange for influence or action in official matters. It is a corrupt act that undermines the integrity of the political and legal systems. Lobbying is the legitimate act of attempting to influence lawmakers on behalf of a particular interest group or cause. Illegal gratuity and rigging are also forms of corrupt behavior but do not specifically involve the exchange of something of value for official action.
