2.Charismatic – based entirely upon the power of an individual’s personality. Owes nothing to status, social position or office, yet can be used to promote the interests of society
3.Legal-rational – situation for most liberal democratic Western capitalist societies. Operates through a body of clearly defined rules linked to formal powers of office not office holder. Arises out of a respect for the rule of law and is evident in the constitutional framework of long-established states.
