It is important to limit people's powers so they don't hurt people and become dangerous, and so people don't abuse their powers. For example the captain on the ship was abusing his powers because he whipped his sailors for pretty much no reason. The captain even chained and whipped people just for talking to him. His punishment was not equal to the "crime". Since the captain's powers are not limited his could be even worse then whipping and chaining.
The captain punished one of his sailors for talking back when he never talked back. The captain also treated his sailors like slaves. Limiting the captain's powers would be good because then he would not be allowed to hurt his sailors and treat them like slaves.
