Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This legal-rational authority was eclipsed by the charismatic authority held by Robespierre and his cohort during the Reign of Terror. Finally, authority in revolutionary France was a mix of the legal-rational and charismatic types during the Consulate and First Empire (the charisma in this last case being that of Napoleon Bonaparte). Questions as to whom has what authority often lie at the heart of political debates, and answers to those questions normally stem from practical and moral considerations, from prior practices and from theories of criminal justice or of the just war. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Authority   (1239 words)

Rational-legal authority - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Rational-legal authority (also known as rational authority, legal authority, rational domination, legal domination) is a form of leadership in which the authority of an organization or a ruling regime is largely tied to legal rationality, legal legitimacy and bureaucracy. In the modern state, people (and legal practitioners) attribute legitimacy to a legal order insofar as its laws have been enacted (this concept of legal authority and its legitmacy should be understood in the light of arguments of the natural law and legal positivism). Finally, rational-legal authority derives its powers from the system of bureaucracy and legality. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /legal_domination.htm   (789 words)

Palestinian National Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Palestinian National Authority was established in 1994, pursuant to the Oslo accords between the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the government of Israel, as a 5-year transitional body during which final status negotiations between the two parties were to take place. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA or PA; Arabic: السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية As-Sulta Al-Wataniyya Al-Filastiniyya Hebrew: הרשות הפלסטינית Harashut Hafalastinit) is an interim administrative organization that nominally governs parts of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip (which are part of the Palestinian Territories). This view has been officially accepted by the United States in summer 2002, which decided then to halt most sorts of negotiations with the current Palestinian authority, pending a fundamental organizational change. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Palestinian_Authority   (5383 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Civil Authority But while civil authority, or government, is natural and universal, the distribution of authority, otherwise called the form of government, or the constitution of the State, is a human convention, varying in various countries, and in the same country at different periods of its history. Authority, therefore, is natural to mankind collectively; and whatever is natural, and rational, and indispensable for human progress, is an ordinance of God. A legal enactment may be immoral, and then it cannot in conscience be obeyed; or it may be ultra vires, beyond the competence of the authority that enacts it, in which case compliance with the law is not a matter of obedience, but of prudence. www.newadvent.org /cathen/02137c.htm   (4459 words)

Authority The authority is justified in issuing the commands and attempting to force people to comply with the commands while the subjects have some kind of duty not to interfere with these activities or comply with the commands. The most demanding notion of authority is the idea of a political authority that has a right to rule that correlates with a duty to obey that is owed to the authority and that is a content independent and preemptive duty. And the idea of legitimate authority as an authority that has a right to rule over subjects who owe obedience to the authority and that has a right not to be interfered with by foreigners is surely an importantly distinct and perhaps ideal type of authority, which is rarely implemented. plato.stanford.edu /entries/authority   (14168 words)

Authority The real upheaval lies just ahead, as a generation of school kids (and their teachers and librarians) struggle to reconcile traditional notions of education and objectivity and authority with the constructivist web of social facts and collective intelligence where folksonomies flourish and the truth is a virus of many colors. In the good old days, not so long ago, in the context of the written word, authority was a term used primarily by librarians as a criteria of evaluation. People obey authority out of respect, while they obey power out of fear Authority need not be consistent or rational, it only needs to be accepted as a source of permission or truth. semanticstudios.com /publications/semantics/000057.php   (1036 words)
