Simple English definitions for legal terms

private power

Read a random definition: fair-and-equitable requirement

A quick definition of private power:

Private power refers to a person's ability to control or influence others, or to change legal relationships. It can be used for personal gain, rather than as an agent of the state. It can also refer to a document granting legal authorization or the physical or moral force of a person or nation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Private power refers to the ability of an individual or organization to control or influence others without being a representative of the government. It is the capacity to act or not act in a way that controls someone else's responses.

Example: A wealthy business owner who has the power to influence the decisions of their employees and customers through their financial resources is an example of private power. They have the ability to control the actions of others without being a government representative.

This example illustrates how private power can be used to control the actions of others without being accountable to the government. It is a form of influence that is not subject to the same regulations and oversight as government power.
