|
traditional authority and charismatic authority are obsolete as forms of contemporary government

AUTHORITY - specific position in an established government

|
LEGITIMACY - a system of government

|
the normative status conferred by a governed people upon their governors' institutions, offices
|
|
government's actions are appropriate uses of power by a legally constituted government
|
|
TRADITIONAL LEGITIMACY

|
derives from societal customs and habits that emphasize the history of the authority of tradition
|
|
CHARISMATIC AUTHORITY
|
|
derives from the ideas and personal charisma of the leader
|

|
|
Legitimate because of popular belief and justification of abiding by the law codified in the constitution

|
legitimacy derives from the popular perception that the elected government abides by democratic principles in governing, and thus is legally accountable to its people
