Police Power

Explanation:

Police power is conferred on the state to assert the supremacy of the collective interest over individual rights when they are used in ways that hurt them. In other words, the police power is an organ entrusted with the adequacy of the individual right to the interest of the community. It is this power of administration that maintains order, tranquility, and public health.

There are many spheres of public administration that use the concept of police power, an example of which is the zoning that is done to avoid crowding or lack of decent housing and work conditions.
