Brieflydiscuss rational-legal authority.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Rational-legal authority is power based on the belief that laws and appointed or elected political leaders are legitimate. Unlike traditional and charismatic authority, rational-legal authority comes from rules and regulations that pertain to an office rather than to a person. For example, anyone running for mayor must have specific qualifications. When a new mayor (or governor or other politicians) is elected, the rules don't change because power is vested in the office rather than the person currently holding the office.
