Based on the themes typically explored in "The Man Without a Country" and the context of corruption within the narrative, the most fitting answer is:
Corruption results in innocent people’s lives being ruined while taking the fall for others’ wrongdoings.
This theme aligns with the story's exploration of how individuals can be affected by larger systemic issues and how justice can be subverted, leading to tragic consequences for those who are innocent.
