Scholars such as Max Weber and Charles Perrow have described rational and legal bureaucracy as the most efficient form of administration. [1] [2] Weber wrote that the modern state, based on rational and legal authority, emerged from the patrimonial and feudal power struggle (see traditional authority), which is unique in Western civilization. Each of these authorities has its own unique complex societies that have evolved from simple definitions. Weber named ten necessities: “How individual officials are appointed and work.” Administrative staff are subordinated to supreme authority for legal authority in a bureaucratic administrative style. The vast majority of modern states from the 20th century onwards fall into the category of rational and legal authority. Constitutional law, rational consideration of the basis is the normal standard of review that courts apply when considering constitutional issues, including matters of due process or equal protection under the Fifth or Fourteenth Amendments. Courts that use a rational basis test attempt to determine whether a law has a “rational” connection to a “legitimate” interest of the state, whether real or hypothetical. [1] The highest levels of verification are poor and severe. [2] Enhanced checks are carried out when classification is suspect or quasi-suspect or infringes a fundamental right.

Theme by Joshua Stamper 2006©New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP When society as a whole approves of the exercise of power in any way, power is considered a “legitimate authority.” According to Max Weber, there is a modern state in which a political community has: 1. behavior guided by reason and not emotions. 2. A thought process that uses logical and systematic methods to draw a conclusion. To satisfy the rational basis test, the law or regulation must have a legitimate interest of the state, and there must be a rational connection between the means and the ends of the law or regulation. The basic rational test is also known as “rational verification”. The basic rational test is generally used in cases where no fundamental rights or suspect classifications are involved. There are three criteria for judicial review: the rational basic test, the intermediate review test and the strict review test. The intermediate test and the rigorous exam test are considered stricter than the rational basic test. Rational legal authority (also known as rational authority, legal authority, rational rule, legal rule, or bureaucratic authority) is a form of leadership in which the authority of a leading organization or regime is largely linked to legal rationality, legal legitimacy, and bureaucracy.

The majority of modern States of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are rational and legal authorities, according to those who use this form of classification. Max Weber divided legitimate authority into three types of societies: traditional authority, rational-legal authority, and charismatic authority. Each of these authorities has its own unique complex societies that have evolved from simple definitions. The rational basic test prohibits the government from imposing irrational or arbitrary restrictions on liberty or distinguishing between individuals in a manner that does not serve a constitutionally legitimate objective. [14] While laws “enacted for broad and ambitious purposes can often be explained by reference to legitimate public policies that justify the unintended harm they inflict on certain individuals,” they must at least have “a rational connection to a legitimate objective of government.” [15] Weber wrote that the modern state, based on rational and legal authority, emerged from the struggle for patrimonial and feudal power (see traditional authority), which is unique in Western civilization.
