Weber speaks of three forms of legitimate domination. One is the traditional one is the charismatic and finally there is the law, which is corresponding to the modern state. The first under the customs, dogmas and patriarchal power, the second under the supernatural qualities of the leader and emotional capacity, while the latter belongs the law and its rationality. Do not forget that these modes of domination are not pure reality as the author says that serve for the analysis and understanding because they are pure ideal types. Recall also that for the author to be legitimate, otherwise it can not be recognized as power. This puts him in a middle ground between the realist theory and the liberal or utilitarian as they have called many.
