I think that Publicola just wants to protect his people from all the violence, and corruption. The consequences of the fifth law, however, may be imprisonment, exile, or even worse, death. Publicola's attitudes towards his co-consuls was fair and showed that him being protective and his hopeful visions for the Roman Republic to be a great nation. Even if like Judas, Publicola held the treasury money, these traits about him make people trust him, unlike Judas of Iscariot. When I think about "power corrupts," I think of King Henry The Eighth, the one who had six wives and Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the dictator President of the Philippines. Publicola reminds me of Andres Bonifacio who led with love for the country and was not tempted to be consumed by power.
