Usage : {
Direction }, {
Control }, {
Command }, {
Order }.
These words ,
as here compared ,
have reference to the exercise of power over the actions of others .
Control is negative ,
denoting power to restrain ;
command is positive ,
implying a right to enforce obedience ;
directions are commands containing instructions how to act .
Order conveys more prominently the idea of authority than the word direction .
A shipmaster has the command of his vessel ;
he gives orders or directions to the seamen as to the mode of sailing it ;
and exercises a due control over the passengers .
