1. public trust

   Public trust refers to the level of confidence and belief that the general population has in the actions, decisions, and capabilities of a government, public institution, or organization. It is the expectation that these entities will act in the best interests of the public, operate ethically, transparently, and efficiently, and fulfill their duties responsibly. The public trust is integral to the social contract and democratic governance and can be affected by the perceived legitimacy, honesty, and integrity of these institutions.

1. Public trust

   The concept of the public trust relates back to the origins of democratic government and its seminal idea that within the public lies the true power and future of a society; therefore, whatever trust the public places in its officials must be respected. One of the reasons that bribery is regarded as a notorious evil is that it contributes to a culture of political corruption in which the public trust is eroded. Other issues related to political corruption or betrayal of public trust are lobbying, special interest groups and the public cartel.
