How can you understand the difference between legality and legitimacy in a policy decision?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Legality means conformity with the law, while legitimacy is linked to public trust and acceptance.

A is correct. Legality asks whether a decision follows the Constitution, applicable laws and valid rules. Legitimacy asks whether people consider the decision justified and acceptable. A policy may be legally authorised but still face questions about its legitimacy if people see the process as unfair or feel that their concerns were ignored. Public support alone cannot make an unlawful policy legal; both legality and legitimacy matter in democratic governance.
