The human heart is frail. that is why it's dangerous to give absolute power to an individual. Man's decision are mostly shaped by his desire and emotions, for that reason, human can not be trusted to completely kept to standard . Even the best of us are always in a state of war within ourselves whether to give in to pressure and emotions or to maintain the lay down standard. 

The human heart is weak to fight the temptation that the reality of life present to it. To that end, laws are written to cover for the inadequacy of the human heart, that is frailty, when confronted with the pressure and realities of life.

To be corrupted is in the nature of humans. All that is needed is for the heart to be presented with proper enticement to conform to its true nature. The frailty of human nature is known time immemorial. I guess that's the wisdom behind, the fundamental law,  that a man can not be a judge in his own case. Because the tendency of the heart to assume its true nature and to be seduce to become selfish is sure. 

Its a trite knowledge that human heart is frail. That's what makes  law necessary to check the excesses of men's heart.

Gifts, family, wants and love are great enticers to exposing the frailty nature of humans. Every human is frail, all that is needed to expose it is getting the appropriate enticement. Even the god's are entice by love to exposing their frailty nature.
