Answer:

I think a person can be seen as powerful and even given power by a group without legitimacy. A powerful person or group can seem legitimate and have actually been able to coerce others into following them and participating in many illegal and immoral activities. The perception of power draws followers and when people blindly listen to and believe someone they will usually see legitimacy where there is none.
