Corruption is considered to have become entrenched so that extraordinary efforts are needed to deal with it. The firmness of sanctions is expected to give fear to everyone when they want to commit corruption. There are differences of opinion regarding the provision of the death penalty.

The data used is secondary data obtained through literature study. The Constitution has explicitly regulated human rights and their limitations. These restrictions are carried out when someone violates the rights of another person. Corruption is a systematic act that harms the wider community.
