Power is the coercive force that is used against an individual’s will and hence individual is subservient to it, otherwise life would be nasty, brutish and short. Legitimacy usually is understood as the popular acceptance and recognition by the public of the authority of a governing régime, whereby authority has political power through consent and mutual understandings, not coercion.
