Rashi adds, “For they [the leaders] have the power to protest.”[3] Everyone has freewill and can always choose to act wrongly, but fault only falls on the leaders when they have an opportunity to make a difference but choose not to do so.[4] Additionally, failing to prevent someone from sinning[5] is so terrible that the Gemora explains that such behavior resulted in the only time in history that Hashem initially intended to display goodness but then reversed
