Answer:

The main difference between the power of a government and the authority of a government, and the one that marks the distinction between both concepts, lies in how each concept is carried out: thus, while the power of a government implies a series of attributions and powers that it has to manage and organize the resources of a nation, its authority is the ability it has to impose that power on the citizens of the country.

In this sense, the powers of a government are static, arise from the laws that create and organize them, and are part of the administrative function of the government. Instead, the government's authority arises from the force it has to apply its laws, as well as from the coercion it carries out through its police and military bodies, and from the trust and credit that citizenship grants it.

On many occasions it happens that a government has the power but not the authority to impose a certain regulation: mainly, this occurs when there is social discontent. Thus, for example, a government may apply a law to prohibit protests on the public highway, but it may not have the authority to apply said norm because it does not have the necessary support.

Which statement best summarized the cause and effect relationship between the civil rights movement and the numerous civil right
Lera25 [3.4K]

The civil rights movement was a mass popular movement to secure for African Americans equal access to and opportunities for the basic privileges and rights of U.S. citizenship. Although the roots of the movement go back to the 19th century, it peaked in the 1950s and 1960s. African American men and women, along with whites, organized and led the movement at national and local levels. They pursued their goals through legal means, negotiations, petitions, and nonviolent protest demonstrations. The civil rights movement was largest social movement of the 20th century in the United States. It influenced the modern women's rights movement and the student movement of the 1960s.


The civil rights movement centered on the American South. That was where the African American population was concentrated and where racial inequality in education, economic opportunity, and the political and legal processes was most blatant. Beginning in the late 19th century, state and local governments passed segregation laws, known as Jim Crow laws; they also imposed restrictions on voting qualifications that left the black population economically and politically powerless. The movement therefore addressed primarily three areas of discrimination: education, social segregation, and voting rights.
