(Legitimises is a forward object property that asserts that a subject, typically an institution or a process, grants legitimacy to an object, such as a rule, a regime, or an authority . It captures the action of providing justification or validity to something, making it widely accepted and deserving of support. The property legitimisedBy asserts the opposite relationship: an object (a rule, a regime) receives its legitimacy from a subject (an institution, a custom, or a process) . It captures the state of being accepted as just and valid due to its source of authority.)
