Homework Help: sociology perspective

Posted by dean on Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 12:52pm.

Every four years in the United States there is a presidential election, and after the election, nearly half the population readily accepts the leadership of the person for whom they did not vote. This is an example of:

egalitarian authority

charismatic authority

traditional authority

legal-rational authority

this is traditional right?

I don't believe it's "traditional authority" because to me that term implies monarchy or dictatorship. Isn't it rational and legal for most people to accept the duly elected leaders?
