Assuming this isn't shitty bait, consider the maxim "power resides where people think it resides".

If enough people think a king/president/whatever is unjust, they won't follow them. It's a combination of physical power, game theory, and mass psychology.

Doesn't your university have an online database? Do you go to one of those tiny "literally who" universities that lack sources? Perhaps you didn't go to uni and decided to learn history by yourself, you can still visit a uni library near you though...unless you have no means of transportation.

Read Étienne de La Boétie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_on_Voluntary_Servitude.
Then look her work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Arendt. You other thing like the psy experience on imnate and guardian.

Because people are easily spooked. They elect someone like Chavez and trust him completely because they believe his propaganda. Just 1 example, it is the same with despots and corrupt politicians of any ideology.

Things are a bit different among the upper echeleons where everyone is aware of how the game is played. Here it is a mix of physical power (used as a bargaining chip), negotiation and control of information.

Control of information can be as important as physical power. For example an official can't be sure a bribe isn't a test orchestrated by the spymaster and he won't be tortured to death horrifically for treason if he accepts.

This.

Power comes from being able to convince other people to do what you want. 99% of the time nowadays, this is never direct, as institutions like the Government, and concepts like law and justice indirectly coerce people to do what higher ups tell them to do.
