Government legitimacy in Constitutional and International Law

Abstract

The research deals with a very important topic, which is the topic of government legitimacy in constitutional and international law, although we cannot determine its form and nature due to the changes and developments that have occurred to it over time, but in this research we can determine it through the standards of constitutional law to indicate the legitimacy of the government, and as It requires the intervention of the international community in determining the nature and legitimacy of governments, in terms of the means of attaining power and how to exercise it, in order to move the state towards stability and organize its political, economic and social affairs, to achieve the establishment of working bodies to achieve the goals of society. International law shows the most important mechanisms that governments rely on to establish the foundations of their political legitimacy. Just as governments enjoying legitimacy does not necessarily protect them from treachery or a coup against them, the peacefulness of these mechanisms makes governments of all types derive true legitimacy, unlike what comes to mind, which is the means of violence and coercion used. By the authority that makes it enjoy its legitimacy.
