Sample question
Most residents comply with a premier's public health directions because they believe an elected government has the right to make them, even though many dislike the restrictions. Which concept best explains this compliance?
  • Coercion
  • Legitimacy
  • Economic resources
  • Parliamentary sovereignty
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

Compliance based on the belief that an actor has the right to exercise power is legitimacy, which converts the government's legal power into accepted authority. Coercion would mean compliance through fear or force, economic resources are a form of power rather than a reason for acceptance, and parliamentary sovereignty concerns a parliament's law-making supremacy rather than public belief.
