*Decisions are not law unless they possess both authority—“the participation in decision in accordance with community perspectives about who is to make what decisions with what criteria”—and control—defined as “effective participation in [decision making] and execution.” McDougal and Lasswell, 384. “When decisions are authoritative but not controlling, they are not law but pretense; when decisions are controlling but not authoritative, they are not law but naked power.” Ibid.
