Power, authority and legitimacy

Letters

POLITICS is a conceptual tool used to revolutionise Paleolithic society into Neolithic society.
Politics is the composition of three things: power, authority and legitimacy.
When combining these concepts well, there would be progress in a society otherwise.
Many mandated leaders seem to ignore the realistic functions of the trio.
Power is having the ability or capacity to do something. Authority is having the right to use power.
Legitimacy is the rightful use of power and authority. Therefore, politics is about handling these concepts.
Mandated leaders or bureaucrats must be mindful of these and correctly apply them to achieve developments or abuse them to hinder progress.
