Monarchies derive their legitimacy from ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monarchies derive their legitimacy from the concept of traditional authority, meaning that they are deemed legitimate because they have always existed and have been passed down through the ruling family. This is different from rational-legal authority, which is based on laws and procedures, and charismatic authority, which is based on personal characteristics of a leader. Totalitarianism is a type of government system that is not necessarily related to the source of legitimacy.
