A government that is elected by the people raises taxes.

Legitimate. A government can have the necessity to raises taxes when needed in order to satisfy certain needs or in response to certain situation. Taxes are an incredibile complex theme, but a government has that power and it's a form of power that is completely legitimate, within resonable limits and boundaries.

A government court sentences someone to death.

This could be either Legitimate or Illegitimate depending on the country. If in the country the death penalty is used, then the decision is legitimate, within the limits and boundaries of the use of death penalty. otherwise, the decision is illegitimate. This could be applied to any penalty, depeding if this or that penalty is allowed by the law.

An assassin kills an elected leader.

Illegitimate. An assassin kills an elected leader, or even a normal citizen, is guilty in most if not all laws as murder, so it is an illegitimate use of power, due to the fact that the assassin is controling the life of another human being, which for many is the ultimate form of domination over others. Moreover, if the victim is an elected leader.

It is an illegitimate use of the power given to the military institution.

The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: little we see in nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! the sea that bares her bosom to the moon; the winds that will be howling at all hours, and are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; for this, for everything, we are out of tune; it moves us not—great god! i'd rather be a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; so might i, standing on this pleasant lea1, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; have sight of proteus rising from the sea; or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn. 1lea: a grassland what phrases in this poem make elements of nature seem big and powerful, or sweet and beautiful? second part: the changes of the industrial age, including those leading to the agricultural revolution, still affect people’s lives. choose a modern song or a television show that idealizes rural life or compares rural life to urban life. how does this song or television show describe city life and the countryside? cite evidence from the performance to support your answer.
