Political Philosophy, p. 5:
To summarize, we can define political authority along the lines suggested by one recent philosopher [Joseph Raz] as follows:
Person x has political authority over person y if and only if the fact that x requires y to perform some action p gives y a reason to do p, regardless of what p is, where this reason purports to override all (or almost all) reasons he may have not to do p.
