I believe that the Captain should have limits on his power because if the captain can do whatever he wants he can abuse his powers and eventually hurt, or even kill the sailors that do all the work. If that happens he can hurt them so badly that they might not be able to work. Also he can ruin the voyage of his ship because if, when the get of the ship at the end of the voyage people might see them beaten up and then those people don't want to work for that ship because they don't want to get hurt as hard as those sailors did.
Most of the time the Captain whipped the sailors for unnecessary reasons, like talking to them and that is also taking away their freedom of speech. If the sailors were tired and were working a little bit slower the Captain would whip them (hard) which is a little bit unnecessary. Those are some of the reasons that I think we should limit the power of the captains.
