They should have known the extent of corruption. (Or 'not do' in the case of refusing to serve.) The Jedi are astute. The Jedi don't do any of these, even though some would be easy to do.

Protect non-corrupt worlds from corrupt organizations.

Naboo or Alderaan), in local ways, but not serve the galaxy-wide government.

Serve only local governments they believe are just (e.g.

Only serve republic leaders they believe are not corrupt.

Use their Jedi powers to expose corruption.

Protect people harmed by corrupt officials.

Articles on Wikipedia, Star Wars Databank, and Wookieepedia describe the Republic as corrupt.

'The chair does not recognize the senator from the Trade Federation at this time.'

Corporations get their own senators as shown by this line by Chancellor Valorum.

This is like asking if the US dollar is respected in an outlying state such as Alaska.

Watto, the junk dealer on Tatooine, says 'Republic credits are no use out here.' This shows that if Republic currency was not respected in the Outer Rim, neither were its laws (such as laws against slavery).

People are surprised to discover slavery still exists in the Outer Rim worlds.If a corporation here on Earth tried to blockade a small country with a private army, would you expect the other nations to tolerate it?

Why would the idealistic Jedi serve a corrupt system?Д®dit: I am offering a bounty for an answer because none of the answers so far really satisfy the question. This oppression led to many outer rim worlds breaking away from the Republic to create the Confederacy of Independent Systems.Д«y supporting it as peacekeepers and negotiators, the Jedi helped prolong the suffering of people affected by corrupt governments and corporations. They surely knew - or should have known - the inner worlds became wealthy by oppressing the outer rim worlds.

It was probably corrupt centuries before a politician named Palpatine began manipulating the Trade Federation and Naboo towards war. Surely the Jedi knew the Republic was a democracy in name only, and that it was hopelessly corrupt. That became clear when the Senate would not lift a tentacle to save Naboo from attack by the Trade Federation when its people were dying. Many of its Senators and bureaucrats were corrupt.
