How are Legitimacy, Sovereignty, and Authority related?

This is for my political science class.

a. Include an understanding of legitimacy, sovereignty, and authority. Legitimacy is the mass feeling that the government’s rule is rightful and should be obeyed. Sovereignty deals with the national government having control over its own territory. Authority deals with political leaders having the ability to command respect to exercise power.
b. Discuss how these often go together. Sovereignty may lead to legitimacy and authority, for example. Having one of these may increase the others.
c. Discuss how lacking one of the three may lead to erosion in the others. For example, lacking legitimacy, make authority difficult without coercion.
