This chapter characterizes political authority as rightful control. It argues that political institutions and their assigned powers control for the effects of public interest problems and rightfully control for these effects when they operate in ways consistent with justified substantive political principles. The characterization follows from a familiar formulation of political authority as a three-place relation between people, principles, and institutions, together with the following suggestion about constructivism, namely, constructivism is a method for formulating the content, scope, and justification of political principles as solutions to problems that warrant public attention.

摘要

This chapter characterizes political authority as rightful control. It argues that political institutions and their assigned powers control for the effects of public interest problems and rightfully control for these effects when they operate in ways consistent with justified substantive political principles. The characterization follows from a familiar formulation of political authority as a three-place relation between people, principles, and institutions, together with the following suggestion about constructivism, namely, constructivism is a method for formulating the content, scope, and justification of political principles as solutions to problems that warrant public attention.
