Max Weber believed that authority consists of three components: traditional authority based on custom and tradition, charismatic authority based on the personal charisma of an individual leader, and legal-rational authority based on established laws and procedures.
The colonies did not accept the authority of the British Parliament, particularly regarding taxation and governance without representation. They believed that they should not be taxed or subjected to laws imposed by a distant government where they had no elected representatives. This conflict over authority ultimately fueled the desire for independence and led to the American Revolution.
since the colonies belong to England, Parliament has legal authority over them.
