I believe that legitimacy is as basic human need. Having the right to receive fair and just treatment. Like the need to belong.
The principle of legitimacy was an idea proposed on September of 1814 at the Congress of Vienna that was used as a guideline for rulers in Europe after the fall of Napoleon. Since napoleon was not an absolute monarch other rulers saw him as a threat to the "old order" or the system that made the monarch have all power along with the Catholic church of the time. The principle was basically saying that all lawful monarchs would be restored to full power in order to keep peace and order. But, besides in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France it was largely ignored.

The central principle within the code of Hammurabi was fair and just for its ancient era of time. Basically the idea was that all laws and punishments for breaking the laws should be placed in writing so that every citizen knew what the laws were. This was an outstanding achievement.

Legitimacy
The Congress of Vienna promoted the principle of legitimacy by restoring hereditary monarchies. The Congress of Vienna, chaired by Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, was held in Vienna from September 1814 to June 1815.
Prince Klemens von Metternich believed in upholding traditional monarchies as the legitimate form of government in Europe. He sought to restore the old order and suppress revolutionary movements in order to maintain stability and prevent further conflicts. This principle of legitimacy was a cornerstone of his conservative political philosophy.
