What makes a government action legitimate?

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.
