Government Legitimacy

Government legitimacy refers to whether people generally accept a government's right to rule and its authority to make and enforce decisions, whether that acceptance comes from the government being freely elected, from long-standing tradition, from delivering effective results, or from some mix of these. A government can hold power without being seen as legitimate by many of the people it governs, which often creates instability, resistance, or a greater reliance on force to maintain control.
