Legitimacy

 It means the citizens’ acceptance of the political system and their belief that the style of government that dominates them is the desired style that achieves their goals and expresses their legitimate and illegitimate interests. Where the second means assuming power and issuing a political decision based on the rules of the constitution and the law.

 The dilemma of legitimacy is linked to the foundations of building the political society itself, and whether it was built on the basis of public consent and collective acceptance first - and is also related to the pattern of the system of government.  .

 It also relates to the legitimacy of assuming power and whether they assumed it by force or by constitutional methods or established customs.

 Legitimacy involves the ability to create belief that the existing political systems or their forms are the most suitable for society, and to maintain this belief.  Legitimacy in many forms of political organizations and even those that are considered unjust and tyrannical.

 What is meant is that the legitimate government is the government that assumes the authority that the people believe is the real authority.

 Supporters of monarchy, for example, in a country do not consider the government legitimate unless the power is in the hands of the legitimate heir to the king, and the supporters of representative government do not consider the government legitimate unless the power is in the hands of the rulers who derive and are not accused of general free elections

 And the legitimate government that monitors the overwhelming majority of the people in a particular country.

 And that legitimacy in a country can change with the rise of another concept that opposes it and gains a side from the people

 We conclude from this that what is based on law, reason, or value is legitimate

 Legitimacy must be distinguished from legality, which is compliance with the law as set by qualified agencies, while legality is compliance with a requirement that is considered to be the most important.

 If legality can be raised in the face of legality...

 Major General de Gaulle intended to embody the national legitimacy towards the fetish regime. This is an example.

 Socrates drank the black chokeberry because respect for the laws of the present obliges him to respect the law, even if it was arbitrary.

 Plato sees a less theoretical pattern in his work Le Politique.

 The real politician is guided by a group and does not have to submit literally to the law, because the written constitutions are an exercise in the truth and whoever possesses the political science can get rid of it.

 However, the public and ordinary individuals must submit to written laws.

 So there are levels of legitimacy. The legitimacy of written constitutions applies to everyone, except for the qualified politician whose legitimacy comes from his knowledge of the real.

 The stakes of legitimacy are sharpened in periods of conflict, for example at the time of the Protestant Reformation, when there were political authorities that had a monopoly on violence, or after the French Revolution.

 The legitimacy of Louis XVIII was put forward in the name of divine law and the seniority of the royal tradition. However, the existence of the charter itself indicates perfectly the legitimacy that is henceforth rooted in legality.

 However, the principle of legitimacy, the compatibility of the actions of the state and administration with the law, appears at the center of democratic legitimacy and the rule of law.

 And while Hans Kelsen gives the identity of the state and the law his most accurate theorizing, the opposition to the merger between legality and legality comes from the extreme left. Pasukanis, as well as from the extreme right Carl Schmitt, presents Max Weber in the same era, a sociology of legality by distinguishing between three models of control that is merit in  Subjugation of others. The authority of those in control comes from the fact that those who are controlled are considered legitimate orders.

 That is, there is a traditional basis in which submission is based on the fact that authority is issued by Salafism, and secularism. Merit in polarization .. gives the ruler exceptional talent, legal, or religious. It focuses on the belief that the order is issued in accordance with positive law..
