You don’t require universal good faith if those working in bad faith are unable to amass any substantial power.

No, but it is a trade off from substantial power over a larger group for a lot of small time bad faith actors having an easier time affecting a smaller group. Like how a small town sheriff can be malicious on their own without needing an organized state level party to enact their abuses of power.

I'm not sure which is better or worse overall, but definitely agree that too much centralization ends up with opportunities to do far more damage to a larger population in a shorter period of time.
