Martin Luther King Jr. uses figurative language strategically throughout his letter to promote equality. How does the following

instance help accomplish his purpose of challenging the church leaders to take action against racial injustice? In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer (strictly tells the temperature) that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat (changes the temperature) that transformed the mores of society.

He put them on the spot bringing awareness to their hypocrisy, double standards and also their complicity around racial discrimination and segregation, responsible in great part for the social inequality, being this a pivot point causing a domino effect throughout the rest of social institutions, drawing specific attention to his arguments and making them easier to understand.

For the answer to the question above,  <span>Martin Luther is using a metaphor to describe the struggle of segregation for himself and others. He accused the church leaders of not taking action, as they didn't experience the pain he is experiencing. He is trying to tell the church leaders that they have not experienced his hardships and struggles , so why are they making decisions to the things they didn't even experienced or understand?</span>

What is the relationship between power, authority, and legitimacy?
Alinara [238K]

In politics Power gets used to implement a decision.

The role of Power becomes most effective when Power does not remain a source of coercion.  In-fact after getting legitimized it becomes Authority. Means the stability of Authority depends upon legitimacy.

So in short Authority is a quality or capacity of a person, institution, rule or order which becomes important in defining whether Authority is correct or authentic, so that people can follow the rules and regulation without any hesitation.

Because of the use of Authority official Governmental policies, rules and regulations get accepted in the society. Authority has two main components: Power and Legitimacy.

Legitimacy of a rule or a decision signifies the fact that people reckon the decision as fruitful and in welfare of the society. Thus they are always ready to follow the rule or decision. Demonstration of Power does not become necessary as long as Legitimacy is attached to Power. It only comes out as a symbol. Like a judge with his black gown or a policeman with his uniform. Just like beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, Legitimacy lies in the eyes of beholder.

There is no question, that without Power it will be very difficult to implement the official decision as well as rules, but only by the fear of punishment or by the coercion authority may not prove successful as far as long term benefits are concerned. Infact such a step becomes tyranny and works as a catalyst for the rebellion.

The able use of Power always gets support from legitimacy. Most of the society follows the rules on the basis of legitimacy therefore using Power does not become necessary all the time. No one will follow the rule or a regulation if the legitimacy of that rule is ruined irrespective of the Power of Authority.

What is one way the supreme court can check power of the senate
Hunter-Best [27]

The Supreme Court can declare laws passed by Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to be unconstitutional.

More detail:

Judicial review refers to the courts' ability to review any law to see if it violates any existing law or any statute of a state constitution or the US Constitution.  On the federal level, Marbury v. Madison (1803) is considered the landmark case for the Supreme Court asserting its authority of judicial review, to strike down a law as unconstitutional.

Background on the landmark case concerning the Supreme Court's power of judicial review:

It was sort of a roundabout way in which the principle of judicial review was asserted by the Supreme Court in the case of Marbury v. Madison. William Marbury had been appointed Justice of the Peace for the District of Columbia by outgoing president John Adams -- one of a number of such last-minute appointments made by Adams.  When Thomas Jefferson came into office as president, he directed his Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver many of the commission papers for appointees such as Marbury.  Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court directly to hear his case, as a provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 had made possible.  The Court said that particular provision of the Judiciary Act was in conflict with Article III of the Constitution, and so they could not issue a specific ruling in Marbury's case (which they believe he should have won).  Nevertheless, in making their statement about the case, the Court established the principle of judicial review.
