Legitimacy
Legitimacy is the belief that the government works with policies and legislation that can
accommodate the citizens of the country.
People are empowered by those in power and can take it away from what the government allows.
Therefore, the government should be especially careful not to make decisions that are not
included in the declaration at the time of elections.This is why the declaration is important. Once
a political party is elected to power, the declaration can order the policy to be enforced. Those
who do not agree with these policies will wait for another election to justify the policies of other
political parties.This is one of the main roles of the Parlament. The opposition and the Senate are
responsible for the government to adhere to the declaration on behalf of the people.
Determining whether a government owns legitimacy depends not on the ruler's own claims of
legal grounds, but on whether the majority of the population actually recognizes the government.
So it's not difficult to understand why legitimacy is always associated with democracy. The
concept of legitimacy shows that the foundation and foundation of government began with the
support of the people, which is the only source of information for government power.
