I say: Did the judge issue a warrant or a court order?
Does the president of the republic have a mandate or a mandate?
This confusion may be due to the fact that "mandate" and "mandate" are words paronyms, that is, similar in writing and pronunciation, but with different meanings.
Let's see:
Mandate it is when someone is authorized to perform certain actions on behalf of others. Logo is a power that someone has bestowed on another in order to act on their behalf. Means: power of attorney, delegation. In general, it is used in political terms to designate the powers that are bestowed upon a man who will represent the citizens for a specified period.
Therefore, the right thing would be “The president of the republic has a mandate”.
warrant means a judicial or administrative order and will, in these circumstances, be a substantive: search warrant, security warrant, search and seizure warrant, arrest warrant, release warrant, summons.
Therefore, it is right when we say: The judge issued a court order.
However, "warranted" can be in certain situations a adjective, as in a common phrase that many of us have heard: He's a boss.
Now follow other examples:
The) The police officer had an arrest warrant and that is why he had the legality of arresting that drug dealer.
B) Fernando Collor did not fulfill his term until the end, as he was impeached.
ç) The Chamber revoked Senator Calheiros' mandate.
d) I managed to pass the entrance exam, but I didn't finish high school, so I'm going to try to get a writ of mandamus from the judge.
and) He won't go far, as we have a search warrant here for the car he's in.
