It depends on the locality. Some countries are a "police state" which means police have authority to do whatever the local government allows them to. In the U.S. police officers are publuc servants, HOWEVER, contrary to popular misconceptions, the term public servant doesn't mean police offcers are there to serve you. The definition of public servant is "A person who holds a government position by election or appointment." Police officers have authority over other citizens in some circumstances, and you are required to do what they tell you to do, in some circumstances.

How did the statement by prussian ruler Frederick the great that a ruler is only the first servant of the state highlight enlightenment ideas about government?

Frederick the Great's statement that a ruler is "the first servant of the state" encapsulates Enlightenment ideas by emphasizing the role of government as a servant to the people rather than a master. This perspective aligns with Enlightenment principles of rational governance, social contract theory, and the belief in the inherent rights of individuals. It suggests that rulers should prioritize the welfare and interests of their citizens, reflecting the shift towards more democratic and accountable forms of governance during the Enlightenment era. Ultimately, this statement advocates for a government that is responsible and responsive to the needs of its populace.
