if that's not authority to tell you how to live your life than I don't know what is.
That is not "authority" to tell you how to live your life; that is "power" to tell you how to live your life.
Without authority (or moral authority) the power is only good so long as another power does not come along and replace it.

Authority always comes from force. Threats of violence.
US republic of yester year was never peaceful or moral.
It operated then as now with the fact that if you do not comply men in uniforms show up to kidnap you and should you resist they will use deadly force.
Democracy was only ever and illusion to keep the serfs from revolting
