"authority" fuck

anyone wanna talk about how theres seemingly two meanings for "authority" where theres like as in "i know wlot about something" and authority as in "i can overide your consent and disregard your autonomy" (and the first occasionally is used to excuse the latter...)

is there a word for the former that doesnt imply the latter?
