This is the perspective of laws. There are generally four levels of governing bodies (international, national, state, and local), the primacy of which is contextual and sometimes arbitrary. We’ll discuss these distinctions in more detail later.
The authority of these laws is determined by the cohesion of the governing body, and the relative strength of the forces involved.
In some cases, this perspective is directly tied to religious, cultural, or ethical perspectives, but often it is abstracted and distinct from them.
