		In politics, and particularly in representative democracies, accountability is an important factor in securing good governance.
		Accountability differs from transparency in that it only enables negative feedback after a decision or action, while transparency also enables negative feedback before or during a decision or action.
		Accountability constrains the extent to which elected representatives and other office-holders can willfully deviate from their theoretical responsibilities, thus reducing corruption.

	Accountability (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		By some the apostle John has been supposed to revert to the Old Testament notion of a judgment proceeding now in place of coming at the Last Day; but Weiss (Der johanneische Lehrbegriff, II, 9) has proved that this is a mistake.
		Up to this point we have spoken of individual accountability, but the subject becomes more complicated when we think of the joint responsibility of several or many persons.
		From the first the human mind has been haunted by what is called the guilt of Adam's first sin.
