No.2a What is meant by legitimacy?
Indicative content (The following does not exhaust relevant points or
appropriate knowledge)
• Legitimacy means rightfulness. As such it can be seen as an approval term
which may sanction political behaviour or conduct.
• Legitimacy confers authority on an action, institution or political system. As
such it distinguishes between power and authority, authority being power
cloaked in legitimacy.
• Political legitimacy stems from two sources. Firstly it arises from below,
through the consent of the public, usually provided by regular and
competitive elections. For example the results of an election may extend
legitimacy to a new government, basing their mandate on the content of a
successful manifesto.
• Second it is based on rule-governed behaviour, in this case achieved through
the existence of a constitution. For instance the former PM Gordon Brown
initially claimed legitimacy to continue as PM after the last general election
results as the constitution conferred the legitimacy to stay in post until the
time a new government could be formed with Nick Clegg and David
Cameron.
• Legitimacy is associated with political stability and order, by contrast,
regimes which are seen as illegitimate tend to foster instability and
disorder.
AO1 Knowledge and understanding
• 1 mark for an aspect of the term accurately identified

Xamin it on legitimacy

  • 1. No.2a What is meant by legitimacy? Indicative content (The following does not exhaust relevant points or appropriate knowledge) • Legitimacy means rightfulness. As such it can be seen as an approval term which may sanction political behaviour or conduct. • Legitimacy confers authority on an action, institution or political system. As such it distinguishes between power and authority, authority being power cloaked in legitimacy. • Political legitimacy stems from two sources. Firstly it arises from below, through the consent of the public, usually provided by regular and competitive elections. For example the results of an election may extend legitimacy to a new government, basing their mandate on the content of a successful manifesto. • Second it is based on rule-governed behaviour, in this case achieved through the existence of a constitution. For instance the former PM Gordon Brown initially claimed legitimacy to continue as PM after the last general election results as the constitution conferred the legitimacy to stay in post until the time a new government could be formed with Nick Clegg and David Cameron. • Legitimacy is associated with political stability and order, by contrast, regimes which are seen as illegitimate tend to foster instability and disorder.
