Rules are the best expressions of united exercises of authority. When people gather to create rules, they actually unite their powers that become a single authority.  This authority as the power of the many and rules as exercise of such authority become intertwined.  This is precisely why there is a misconception that a military person is authoritarian. But military people as vanguards of implementing rules are highly respected for being highly disciplined. They only exercise their authority to accomplish their missions even they may seem authoritarian.  That is part of their discipline.  They have to live a life of absolute obedience to the rules such as laws and moral principles.
