State legislatures Power and Authority. ...Authority is recognition of the government's right to establish rules of society. Power is the government's ability to enforce the rules. A government with neither power nor authority isn't a government at all, whereas one with both tends to be orderly and productive. Authority without power is the current situation in Somalia, where pirates and crime lords do as they please while the government looks on helplessly. Power without authority is the point at which the people declare the government invalid and incite a revolt, as in Libya.
