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.
