A newly inaugurated constitutional government mandates that all military formations submit their operational budgets to a civilian legislative committee for approval. However, a regional commander threatens to deploy troops independently if the budget is reduced, asserting control over military hardware and armed personnel. Which form or source of political power is the regional commander primarily relying upon to enforce compliance, as distinct from constitutional authority?
- Coercive power derived from control over instruments of physical forceCevap
- BLegal-rational authority derived from codified constitutional provisions
- CTraditional power rooted in custom, hereditary succession, and ancestral lineage
- DCharismatic power based on personal magnetism and popular devotion of citizens
Cevap
Coercive power derived from control over instruments of physical force
Coercive power is the ability to compel obedience through the threat or use of physical force, punishment, or physical control over armed apparatus. In the scenario, the regional commander uses control of military hardware and armed personnel to intimidate civilian authority, demonstrating coercive power rather than legitimate constitutional right.
