The more power someone has, the more they are (or should be) obligated to use that power justly and evenly, and to not abuse it.
There is little danger of someone with little to no power abusing it -- even if they try, not much harm can be done. The more power, the greater the risk of harm, so the greater the responsibility for due care.
