Foundations of legitimate power in the state.
The state, as well as the political unions that historically preceded it, is a relation of domination of people over people, based on legitimate (that is, considered legitimate) violence as a means. Thus, for it to exist, the people under domination must submit to the authority claimed by those who now dominate. When and why do they do this? What are the internal grounds for justifying domination (legitimacy) and what external means support it?
Firstly, it is the authority of “eternally yesterday”: the authority of morals, consecrated by primordial significance and the habitual orientation towards their observance - “traditional” domination, as it was carried out by the patriarch and the patrimonial prince of the old type.
Further, the authority of an extraordinary personal gift (charisma), complete personal devotion and personal trust caused by the presence of the qualities of a leader in some person: revelations, heroism and others - charismatic domination, as exercised by the prophet, or - in the field of the political - the elected prince -military leader, or plebiscitary ruler, an outstanding demagogue and political party leader.
Finally, domination by virtue of “legality”, by virtue of belief in the obligatory nature of legal establishment and business “competence”, justified by rationally created rules, that is, orientation towards subordination in the implementation of established rules - domination in the form in which it is carried out by the modern “civil servant and all those holders of power who are similar to him in this respect.
In this case, we are primarily interested in the second of them: domination based on the loyalty of those who submit to the purely personal "charisma" of the "leader". For here the idea of vocation in its highest expression is rooted. Devotion to the charisma of a prophet or leader in war, or an outstanding demagogue in a popular assembly or parliament, just means that a person of this type is considered internally "called" to lead people, that the latter obey him not by virtue of custom or institution, but because they believe into it.
14. What are the three grounds for the legitimacy of power in the state named in the text?
15. Find and write out from the text the definition of the state formulated by the author. Based on the knowledge of the course, formulate any other correct definition of the state.
16. The author of the document defines the essence of traditional domination as the authority of “everyday yesterday”. Give an explanation of the author's thought. Based on knowledge of social studies and history courses, give three specific examples of power based on traditional domination.
17. The author draws Special attention on the charismatic type of legitimate power, characterizing it as "a vocation in its highest expression" and emphasizing that "leadership as a phenomenon occurs in all historical epochs and in all regions." Based on the author's understanding and knowledge of the course, formulate the essence of leaderism. Express your judgment about the specifics (special conditions) of the formation of charismatic power in the state. Name the main danger of the leader type of government for the people.
Whoever wants to participate in the government of the state must be able to manage himself, understand the essence of the state, its tasks and goals, the organic nature of people's life, the meaning and meaning of freedom, the technique of social organization, the laws of politics and economy. If this is not the case, the common interest remains unconscious, replaced by private self-interest and personal desires, the principle of solidarity remains an empty word, the common goal will be lost, the authority will be replaced by “fist law”; falsification of statehood and collapse will begin. The state will perish or re-form as a dictatorial institution.
And in relation to all citizens with an immature sense of justice (children, minors, mentally ill, savages, politically senseless, criminally criminal, immoral, greedy rogues, etc.), the state will always remain a guardian institution. Those who are not capable of realizing and vitally formulating their public interest and who it is absurd to give the right to vote, the state will always patronize and lead.
But the matter is not limited to this either. People in general do not live in the world in order to kill their time and energy on political organization but to create culture. Politics should not absorb their leisure and tear them away from work, but provide them with order, freedom, legality, justice and the technical and economic conveniences of life. Boiling in political disagreements, passions and intrigues, in vanity, ambition and love of power is not culture, but a waste of strength and vitality. Therefore, politics should not absorb more time and will than is necessary.<…>
To top it all off, political work requires special knowledge, study, training, experience and talent that "everyone" has never had and never will have; political construction has always been and always will be the work of a competent minority.
20. Give three points in the text that support the author's conclusion that politics is the business of elected citizens.
21. There is a point of view according to which politics is a common cause that requires active participation from every conscientious citizen. Give an argument to support this conclusion. Based on the knowledge of the course, indicate two areas of political activity ( political participation) to be exercised by every citizen in a democratic society.
