A quick definition of public power:

Public power refers to the authority given to a person or organization to act on behalf of the government. This includes legislative, judicial, and executive powers. It allows them to make decisions and control the actions of others. Public power is important for maintaining order and ensuring that laws are followed. It is different from private power, which is used for personal gain.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Public power refers to the legal right or authorization to act or not act, which is vested in a person or organization as an agent or instrument of the functions of the state. Public powers include various forms of legislative, judicial, and executive authority.

Examples: Examples of public power include:

  • The authority of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to enact laws and take other constitutionally permitted actions.
  • The power of an administrative agency to adjudicate the rights of those who appear before it.
  • The power of an administrative agency to engage in rulemaking.

These examples illustrate how public power is vested in different branches of government and administrative agencies to carry out their functions and responsibilities.
