Some idea of the benefit bestowed upon the community can be judged from some of the inclusions:

Its use was adopted by the western church in the Carolingian Era as a benefit bestowed by the crown or church officials.

It would forthrightly ban gifts of recreational travel, meals and other dubious financial benefits bestowed by lobbyists and the companies who employ them in an effort to influence legislation.
