| | Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In politics, authority generally refers to the ability to make laws, independent of the power to enforce them, or the ability to permit something. | | | An authority can also be a government agency set up with a particular competence and is able to deal with all matters within its charter; such as the Tennessee Valley Authority and a Port Authority. | | | The right of hereditary monarchs to rule furnishes an obvious example. |

| | Legal Positivism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | According to this view, legal principles are like legal rules in that both derive their authority under the rule of recognition from the official acts of courts and legislatures. | | | If a legal question is not answered by standards deriving from legal sources then it lacks a legal answer-the law on such questions is unsettled. | | | If legal argument is mainly or even partly about [the properties that make a proposition legally valid], then lawyers cannot all be using the same factual criteria for deciding when propositions of law are true and false. |

| | Primary authority are the rules of law and are binding upon the courts, government, and individuals. | | | The citations to other authority and annotations provided in legal encyclopedias, treatises, American Law Reports, law reviews, and legal periodicals are an important element of their value in the research process. | | | The resources available to find legal authority are vast and complicated leading many law schools to require students to take a class in legal research. |

| | Privatization.org Policy Issue - Legal Authority for State-Level Corrections Privatization |
| | We were unable to find any specific legal authority to contract with the private sector for the housing of state prisoners. | | | It is a fact that critics of correctional privatization repetitively articulated their legal opinion that any contract award would be swiftly invalidated on such legal grounds as, first, the absence of statutory authority and, second, unavoidable constitutional defects which would necessarily undermine the viability of any statutes legislatures might enact. | | | Further, both as a matter of law and of prudent public policy, reasonable questions can and perhaps should be raised regarding states that have contracted or believe they have the legal authority to contract but that have not developed any specific enabling legislation. |

| | Legal Obligation and Authority |
| | Thus, a legal right is an interest that warrants holding others under an obligation to protect it, a legal power is the ability to create or modify obligations, and so forth. | | | But political authority, of which legal authority is one species, is normally seen as a right to rule, with a correlative duty to obey. | | | They do not deny that legal authority is often valuable, or that there is often content-dependent reason to do what law requires; they do not deny that some people have moral obligations to obey; they do not even deny that there are some laws that everyone has a moral obligation to obey. |

| | A legal pope is not always a moral pope with binding authority |
| | The legal authority of a legal pope is valid. | | | While he who legally fills the office is and remains the legal pope for the duration of his reign, there is no assurance that a pope morally is or continues to occupy the office. | | | When a man, who has legally been ordained a priest is elected as pope, he is elected to fill two positions, a legal position and a moral position. |

| | "International Recognition of a Unilaterally Declared Palestinian State: Legal and Policy Dilemmas" by Tal Becker |
| | In accordance with state practice and international legal principle, states would be subject to a legal duty not to recognize the Palestinian entity as a sovereign state if its claim to statehood is based on acts which are unlawful. | | | In an effort to overcome the legal problems which undermine their claim, Palestinian representatives have argued that a unilateral declaration of statehood is not an unlawful act despite the existence of repeated undertakings not to alter the legal status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip pending the outcome of permanent status negotiations. | | | Indeed, it is widely accepted that there exists a legal duty not to recognize as a state an entity which claims statehood on the basis of acts which are illegal. |

| | Flexibility within a Metaconstitutional Frame: Reflections on the future of legal authority in Europe* |
| | The vulnerability of the legal form is exposed where the Treaty-makers, qua bearers of sectoral, national-strategic and other partial interests, have influenced negotiations in the IGC in the direction of further ad hoc flexibility in Justice and Home Affairs, with attendant problems of boundary maintenance and co-ordination, political efficacy, democratic accountability and social legitimacy. | | | There is, first, the specifically legal question of delineating the boundaries between legal orders and putative legal orders and of finding appropriate bridging mechanisms between these legal orders. | | | Bargaining in the shadow and in the interstices of a legal framework depends, finally, upon the resilience, relevance and threshold legitimacy of the legal framework. |

| | Within a few hours following Al-Asad's death, the Parliament amended the constitution, reducing the mandatory minimum age of the President from 40 to 34 years old, which allowed his son, Bashar al-Assad legally to be eligible for nomination by the ruling Ba'ath party. | | | In addition, six other political parties are permitted to exist and, along with the Ba'ath Party, make up the National Progressive Front (NPF), a grouping of parties that represents the sole framework of legal political party participation for citizens. | | | Although parliamentarians may criticize policies and modify draft laws, they cannot initiate laws, and the executive branch retains ultimate control over the legislative process. |

Nevertheless, even if Condition Two of the deed were invoked by the proposed transaction at issue here, the current regulations are not a bar to the transfer. | | | On its face, the regulation appeared to recognize the authority to change the use of the property in any type of sale under section 414 and to require a reversionary right in all deeds of conveyance. |
