Conceptual developments of authority in the discourse context of public law

Authority as a necessary and vital doctrine for the birth and survival of a state is an understanding that has faced different readings in each of the "pre-modern", "modern" and "post-modern" discourses and judgment platforms. Basically, the question of authority, in terms of what kind of power has the right to command the people and the role of the people in granting and delegitimizing the power contained in an individual or institution, is a question that formulates the basis of public law. This article aims to analyze authority with an analytical and ultimately normative thinking, and in the depth of expressing the differences between authority in each of the discourses, achieve a new model for rethinking about authority. Finally, the present article defends this idea and theory that instead of discursive analysis, verbal analysis of authority, it is desirable to include Benbadin justifications for the legitimacy of power while guaranteeing democratic rights and freedoms.
