Final answer:

Not explicitly mentioned in the references, various historical figures and efforts have aimed to reform the use of the death penalty and ensure just penalties for crimes, but none specify the intent to execute judges for bribery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The historical figure who wanted to pass a law indicating that any judge who accepted a bribe should be put to death is not explicitly recorded in the provided references.

However, the references do discuss historical instances and attempts for justice reform and the application of the death penalty.

For instance, during various periods of reform, efforts were made to limit extreme punishments for specific crimes, reduce capital offenses, and moderate the use of the death penalty to ensure justice.

This is evident from the reforms to limit the death penalty to severe crimes, constitutional challenges like Kennedy v. Louisiana, and the rejection of harsh ancient laws, such as those from Qin in favor of more proportional laws mentioned by elders.
