Why would a government not be legitimate

History
1 answer:
Archy [21]2 years ago
8 0

A government wouldn't be legitimate if there is no consent of the governed and it can only be achieved through majority rule.

To have legitimacy in a government means that the government must have the majority of acceptance of authority from its citizens. Without this basic condition, a government collapses.

Democracy is an example of this because the government is legitimated from consent by the majority of the citizens.

In addition, there are four types of legitimate government: Communism, Constitutionalism, Democracy, Monarchy, and Fascism.
