•Traditional legitimacy is accord with claims and acts of rulers because these rulers have "always" made these claims and committed these acts. "The king's desire is law" because the king (the most common type of traditional ruler) is descended from the established Hohenstaufen or Bourbon or Savoy line, and the officers of the state owe him personal allegiance. Rights that are transmitted from generation to generation are sacrosanct. When traditional legitimacy is very strong, as in feudal times, the whole of the state is administered as a family affair. When it is weak, as it has been in America, each generation wants to make all decisions for itself. Jefferson, who believed in the "insurrection of science, talents and courage against rank and birth, which have fallen into contempt," also wanted each generation to write its own constitution.
The Mandate of Heaven is a traditional Chinese philosophical concept concerning the legitimacy of rulers. ChaCha on!

Legitimacy is a measure of how accurate, true, or appropriate an aspect is under specific circumstances. In a case where truth was a variable "legitimacy" may be used as a measure of whether or not something is true.
Legitimacy is a term used by governments to recognize another regime. A government can obtain legitimacy in several ways. For example, allowing people to participate in government having representatives shows signs of legitimacy. Also, having a codified law that is referred to shows signs of a "higher law" which is another way to obtain legitimacy.
