Analyse the following passage and provide an appropriate answer for the questions 18 and
19.
Since power is itself a value, forms of influence which include power in their scope are usually
themselves forms of power. The king’s mistress, though she has only influence, not power, over
the king, may have power over his subjects in the degree of that influence. Forms of influence
based on power are themselves forms of power only if the scope of the influence is included
within that of the power in question. The king may exercise influence over standards of morality,
say, by virtue of his power position, but he does not necessarily exercise power over morality.
