It is a Government of the People, by the People and for the people, Open and Transparent. All its laws and actions there of are revealed to the people in a public manner, not kept secret from them. President J.F. Kennedy, in his speeches to the People, spoke of secrecy that was within our US Government, was not to be tolerated. After those speeches to the people he was Assassinated for his revealing of such maters. The powers that were controlling the US Government at that time did not want their secrecy to be revealed to the people nor did they want to lose that secret and corrupt power.
A Legitimate government has to respect the majority's will without stomping on the rights of the minority. Our founding fathers did so by establishing a democracy with a Bill of Rights. In this way, majorities could have certain things done, but without stomping on the rights of everyone else.
On the contrary, many governments that no one can consider illegitimate (e.g. Hitler's and Stalin's regimes) have in no way consisted of such ideals. A more accurate definition of a legitimate government then perhaps is any situation in which a person or persons are subservient to another person or persons. This accounts for those governments that were corrupt with avarice still proved legitimate governments.
