Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: letter B, the people.

Explanation:

Max Weber is a German sociologist and political economist.  He proposed a theory on "bureaucracy." This is an organizational structure that focuses on rules, procedures, processes, hierarchies, etc. among the employees. He introduced the three types of power: legal power, traditional power and charismatic power.

According to him "power is the ability to exercise one's will over others." This definition has been adopted by many scholars over time. And for him, all governments get their power from the people. The word "power" here is different from the word "authority." Power affects social relationships and "it is NOT coercion." It provides a strategic way to rule the people so they will obey.
