There are any number of reasons why power corrupts. But in the end, Lord Acton had it right.

Close, but no cigar. Immunity (which power often provides, of course) corrupts. If one can be held responsible then being good is self interest and no concience (an item that many people lack) is required.

That is one huge plus for Christianity. A believer knows that sins will be punished and virtue rewarded....eventually.
