State
Authority is power that people accept as legitimate, obeyed because it is seen as rightful rather than merely imposed.
Show
A driver pulls over for a police officer's lights but would refuse an order unrelated to the officer's role.
Watch for
Authority is a claim people happen to accept, not a property automatically attached to any office or title.
