In 2010, Randy Terrill, a state representative from Oklahoma, offered a bribe to a state senator to get her to leave her office. After an investigation, a judge decided that there was enough evidence that
Terrill had violated the law, and he was tried in court. In 2013, Terrill was convicted of bribery and
sentenced to one year in prison.
Explain which constitutional principle this scenario illustrates. What evidence led you to that
conclusion?
