Scholars such as Max Weber and Charles Perrow characterized the rational-legal bureaucracy as the most efficient form of administration.[1][2] Rational-legal authority[edit] In sociology, the concept of rational-legal domination comes from Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority (one of several classifications of government used by sociologists); the other two forms being traditional authority and charismatic authority. Charismatic authority is legitimized by the personality and leadership qualities of the ruling individual. Legal rationality and legitimate authority[edit] Max Weber's theory: type of authority[edit] Max Weber broke down legitimate authority into three different types of societies: Traditional Authority, Rational-legal Authority, and Charismatic Authority. Rational-legal authority is the basis of modern democracies.
