NOTE
CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY
Authority is the power and right to give orders, make decisions and enforce
obedience to certain laws
Constituted authority refers to an individual or groups of individuals with
legitimate powers to control and govern societal institutions, people and
resources for the smooth running and development of the society as well
as for the common good
TYPES OF CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY
A democratic authority is a system in which the supreme power is vested in
the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected
representatives under a free electoral system.
The people are the source of all power in a democratic system. This
system is based on the principle of majority rule, which means that the
majority opinion governs.
In traditional authority, the leader’s position is inherited. The leader has the
authority by virtue of their birthright. For example, in a monarchy, the king
or queen has the authority to rule because they were born into the royal
family. In a tribal society, the chief or shaman has the authority to lead
because they were born into a family with that tradition.
This system was justified by the belief that some people were born with the
right to rule and that they had been given this right by God.
Charismatic authority is based on the personal charisma of the leader. A
charismatic leader is one who is able to inspire and generate loyalty and
support from followers. This type of leader often has a vision that they are
able to communicate to others, which generates excitement and buy-in.
Charismatic leaders are often seen as larger-than-life figures, and they
often have strong personalities and presence. Think of people like Steve
Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, or Mahatma Gandhi. These are people who were
able to generate a lot of support and loyalty from others because of their
charisma.
The bureaucratic authority is the authority that is vested in the office and
not in the person. The rules, regulations, and procedures are defined and
are generally followed in this type of authority. In this type of authority, the
decisions are taken on the basis of rationality.
