Quo warranto is a legal term derived from Latin meaning "by what authority." It refers to a writ or legal action used to challenge an individual's right to hold a public office or exercise certain privileges. Typically, it is invoked to ensure that a person or entity has the legitimate authority to act in a particular capacity, often scrutinizing the legality of their appointment or actions. This legal remedy can be pursued by private citizens or the state to protect public interests.
