How Did The Jungle Corrupt

On “The Jungle” the writer was referring or calling out the government on how corrupt it was. First, it starts with the night-watchman offering citizenship to the immigrants, that it would not cost them anything. After successfully obtaining such documents, the night-watchman bribes these men by gifting them money so they can vote, as the story states: “when election day came, the same night-watchman took Jurgis and the rest of his flock into the back room of a saloon, and showed each of them where and how to mark a ballot, and then gave each two dollars, and took them to the polling place.”
