Primary powers
Primary powersThe principal authority given by a principal to his agent; it differs from mediate powers. RELATED TERMS-------------------------------------- Principal 1) This word has several meanings. It is used in opposition to accessary, to show the degree of crime committed by two persons; thus, we say, the principal is more guilty than the accessary after the fact. 2) Contracts. One who, being competent to contract, and who is sui juris, employs another to do any act for his own benefit, or on his own account. 3) Criminal law. A principal is one who is the actor in the commission of a crime. Authority Government. The right and power which an officer has in the exercise of a public function to compel obedience to his lawful commands.
