Who said that "Authority is federal" ?
Answer: D
'Authority is federal' was said by Laski.
Harold Laski, the leading English pluralist, rejected the monistic theory of sovereignty. Since society is made up of many associations (churches, trade unions, professional bodies), each with its own claim on the individual, he argued that authority in society must also be federal, divided among groups rather than concentrated in the state.
Ernest Barker shared pluralist sympathies but is not the author of the phrase, and Léon Duguit and Hugo Krabbe attacked state sovereignty from the side of law, holding law rather than the state to be supreme.
