Power is when you are able to do something whether you have the right to or not.
Example- A thirteen year old kid my have to power to drive a car, but not the right to.
Authority is when you have the right to.
Example- A seventeen year old with his drivers license has the authority to drive as well as the power.
These are some super simple examples.
Usually if you have the authority you have the power, but not always.
Example- Mexico has the authority to end it's drug problem but not the power to.
Hope this helps
