Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each definition and match it with the correct term from the word bank:

1. "An established organization... and the rules that guide it" → institution (matches the written answer).
2. "Institutions and officials organized to establish and carry out public policy" → government (matches the written answer).
3. "An independent state... people share a common culture" → nation - state (previously blank, now filled).
4. "The ability to cause others to behave..." → power (previously had "abuse of power", corrected).
5. "The right to exercise supreme authority..." → sovereignty (previously blank, now filled).
6. "The quality of being accepted as an authority..." → legitimacy (previously blank, now filled).
7. "A product or service available for all people..." → public good (matches the written answer).
8. "The process and method of making decisions for groups..." → politics (previously blank, now filled).
