As political systems develop, recognition is
transferred from individuals to institutions—that is, to rules or patterns of
behavior that persist over time, like the British monarchy or the U.S.
Constitution. But in either case, political order is based on legitimacy and
the authority that arises from legitimate domination. Legitimacy means that the
people who make up the society recognize the fundamental justice of the system
as a whole and are willing to abide by its rules. In contemporary societies, we
believe that legitimacy is conferred by democratic elections and respect for
the rule of law.

imagina sequer ao acordar, que irá morrer nesse dia. Muito menos assim.
