While the pigs continuously stole more and more power, the lack of attentiveness by the animals allowed for the pigs to take control of the power and then become corrupted by it. The animals did not remember the commandments and never voiced concerns at the modification of them, which in turn allowed for Napoleon to take all the power he wanted. The effects of the lack of caring by the rest of the farm animals makes it super easy for Napoleon to seize the power, blame Snowball, and threaten the return of Mr. Jones at every turn and road
