Parliament presented Charles I with the Petition of Rights because they objected to his actions.
John Locke would have objected to the Committee of Public Safety's actions during the Reign of Terror because he strongly valued individual rights and the protection of life, liberty, and property. The Committee's use of violence and mass executions undermined the social contract that Locke advocated, which emphasized government as a protector of citizens rather than a source of oppression. Additionally, Locke believed in the necessity of rational governance and due process, both of which were severely compromised during the chaotic and authoritarian measures of the Reign of Terror.

Authority and power are two interrelated concepts. Power regards the ability to commit an action. Authority is the granted legitimacy to carry out such actions.
Milgram suggested that, when faced with legitimate authority, people enter an agentic state. That means that they act as an agent of the authority. All perceived responsibility is handed on to them. This means that a person may obey requests to do things that they would normally have objected to.
The type of authority based on the actions, words, or deeds of the principal is called "apparent authority." This occurs when a principal's behavior leads a third party to believe that an agent has the authority to act on their behalf, even if such authority has not been formally granted. Apparent authority can create binding obligations for the principal, as it relies on the perceptions formed by the third party.
The authority to act on behalf of the principal as specifically granted in a written or verbal agreement. This authority may be limited to certain tasks or actions as outlined by the principal.
