Which statement best describes the relationship between power and authority?
a. authority allows for the widespread distribution of power
b. authority describes the way governments can acquire power.
c. authority is a type of power used only in authoritarian states.
d. authority gives a state the right to use its power

I believe the answer is: D. Authority gives a state the right to use its power

The purpose of an authority is to give the holders of the authority a legal ground to justify their action and force the subject of authority to conform. Example of states' authority includes things such as the power to collect taxes, the power to maintain safety in their territory, the power to impose states law, etc.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
