On what conditions is all legitimate government based on?
A government -- good or bad -- can be called legitimate if it keeps what is called a monopoly on the use of force. This means that the government is the only entity that can force people to act in a certain way, typically by establishing laws and enforcing them with the police or military. If the people living under this government accept the rules, even begrudgingly, then the government is legitimate.An illegitimate government is one where this monopoly on force is challenged, or absent. The failed Russian Coup of 1991, and the more recent failed coup in Venezuela, are a good examples of how those who claimed to be in power didn't establish a monopoly on force, as the police, military, and citizens beneath them refused to honor their authority.
