What is It
STATE INSTITUTIONS

Political and Leadership Structures

According to Max Weber as cited by Santarita & Madrid, 2016, Political structure or
institution is defined as the organized way in which power is allocated and decisions are
made within society. Below is the organizational chart of the Philippine Government.

Photo link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Philippine_government.png

The Executive branch is comprised of the President and the Vice President who are
chosen by direct popular vote and fulfill a term of six years. The Constitution grants
the President authority to appoint his Cabinet. These departments form a large
portion of the country’s bureaucracy.
The Legislative branch can make laws, alter, and reverse them through the power
bestowed in the Philippine Congress. This institution is divided into the Senate and
the House of Representatives
The Judicial branch maintains the power to resolve disputes concerning rights that
are legally demandable and enforceable. This branch decides whether there has
been a serious abuse of judgment amounting to lack or excess of authority on the

5
part and instrumentality of the government. It is made up of a Supreme Court and
lower courts.
The Constitution explicitly permits the Supreme Court the power of Judicial Review
as the power to declare a treaty, international or executive agreement, law,
presidential decree, proclamation, order, instruction, ordinance, or regulation
unconstitutional
Power on the other hand is the capacity to realize desired ends despite
opposition from others. The utilization of power is the business of government,
which is defined as a formal organization that directs the political life of a society
(Macionis, 2012) Therefore, governments demand compliance on the part of a
population.

According to Macionis (2012) “No government, Weber explained, is likely to keep its
power for long if compliance comes only from the threat of brute force. Even the most
brutal dictator must wonder if there can ever be enough police to watch everyone—
and who would watch the police? Every government, therefore, tries to make itself
seem legitimate in the eyes of the people. This fact brings us to Weber’s concept of
authority, a power that people perceive as legitimate rather than coercive” (p.394)
TYPES OF AUTHORITY

1) Traditional Authority respect for a long-standing cultural pattern is used

to legitimize power.

2) Rational-Legal Authority or also known as bureaucratic authority; legally

created rules and regulations are used to legitimize power.

3) Charismatic Authority extraordinary personal skills that inspire devotion

and obedience are used to legitimize power.

Economic Institutions

Human beings are driven to satisfy their basic necessity which includes food,
water and shelter however human beings also aim for goods and services which can
be attained through help from the many or known as collective effort (Santarita &
Madrid, 2016) This make economic activity essential in Human’s life because it can
influence the complexity of society and the character of its cultural and social life.
Imagine if there is an alteration or change in the means of production as well
as the redistribution and exchanges of deliverables or services, it can strongly affect
the overall functioning of society. For instance, the continuous increase in price in a
petrol can also have a massive effect on the price of goods such as fruits and
vegetables for the supplier must also take into consideration petrol and its market
value because they will be using petrol for transportation of fruits and vegetables.
This scenario might result in a possible change of market value among the
abovementioned products.

Gilliard et al., (2000) argued that an economic institution is being defined as

an enduring organization, practice, or relationship created by individuals to handle
and cope with basic economic dilemmas.

6
 Now that we established the definition and importance of economic
institutions, let us now discuss the forms of redistribution and exchange of products.
Read and carefully analyze the table and graphic organizer below because these
might help you to better understand the subject matter.
