Document Summary
We study different types of authorities in order to distinguish between how authority is used in conjugation with consent and legitimacy. There is a way in which three terms are connected. Authority can be stabilised in charismatic way, traditional and legal- rational way. There is an issues with establishment of legal-rational authority. Legal rational authority is seen to lay in a core of democratic authority. The connection is made here between retinal and democratic authority is that people consent to be governed because they view the rules and procedures of democracy as legitimate. People are consenting to b governed under democratic rules because they view them to be legitimate. (freedom of assembly and speech etc. ) People are not consenting because the leader has divine characteristic or they thin the leader was chosen from a particular family or select group. They support government because of the fact that it has followed rules and procedures of democracy.
