In Lord of the Flies, Why is Jack so enthusiastic about the possibility of creating rules?

One of the many questions that has plagued political thinkers is the question of the legitimacy of power. In most societies, some people  power over others. Some issue commands that others are expected to obey.  The question arises as to what constitute their authority, and here there are many answers. Jack then, is authoritarian man. Like Hitler and Mussolini, he came out of an authoritarian tradition; himself a Satanic figure with his red hair and black cape, he was also the leader of a black-capped and black-cloaked gang that marched in step something dark [that] was fumbling along and followed orders. His was the voice of one who knew his own mind, and when it was suggested that there ought to be a chief he immediately and arrogantly demanded that position for himself. Defeated in an election, he took command of the hunters, the forces of naked power. We'll have rules! he cried excitedly. Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks 'em .”  He creates rules in order to have power over people—rules legitimate his power and gives him reason to exercise it in cruel ways.
