In this sense social norms and public trails without due process works as decentralized authority that leverages its ability to keep others in submission 4/7
A value judgement is made when we say "legitimate authority" which is a proxy for social consensus and hierarchies based on enforced rules and criteria 5/7
Which hopes in theory that the authority is as close to being a proxy of genuine respectability and ability and not a pure statement of a monopoly on power 6/7
My personal phrase for degrees of Authoritarinism in an invidiudal is being accepting and supporting of any supreme power being just and a willingess to submit to it 7/7
