    Organizations
    entities in a society
    formed for administrative
    or political functions.

    or design of power and
    authority in society.

    limits of power.

    Type of Political
    Organization
    1. Band
    2. Tribes
    3. Chiefdom
    4. State
    Band
    the most traditional and
    smallest type of political
    organization. Familial ties
    connect a band. Politically
    independent, a band usually
    does not recognize the
    formal government. There
    are no written codes or
    laws. There is no organized
    group of leaders.
    Tribes
    traditional societies
    comprised of people or
    group of people
    connected by social,
    religious, ancestral, or
    cultural ties. Bigger
    than a band, tribes are
    usually settled in one
    place and do not rely
    on hunting and
    gathering but on
    agriculture for
    subsistence
    Chiefdom

    unlike tribal societies,


    is a permanent and
    formal government.
    Chiefdoms are formal
    political organizations
    in a traditional society
    based on kinship or the
    leadership of selected
    families.
    State
    formal political organization
    in a modern or industrial
    society regarded as an
    organized community under a
    government. Characteristics
    of a state include owning a
    certain territory, having a
    particular group of people to
    lead it, a group of people to
    take administrative roles, and
    freedom from external or
    foreign control.
    Power, Authority, and
    Legitimacy
    Power
    natural inclination
    that is sought
    continuously by
    individuals. In
    sociology and
    politics, power is the
    ability to get others
    to do things even
    when they might not
    want to
    Authority
    the right to command.
    Authority is observed
    when an individual has a
    command to make a
    person do things. Such
    act is a response to that
    person’s perceived power.
    This person can be your
    boss, your superiors, or
    those who hold high
    positions in society.
    Legitimacy
    Legitimacy is a
    belief that a rule,
    institution, or leader
    has the right to
    govern. Legitimacy
    is the force that
    makes an action of a
    governing body
    necessary.
