Explanation:
Legal Dictionary
em·pow·er (im-`pou-ər)
vt.

To give official authority or legal power to (no branch of government should be empowered unilaterally to impose a serious penalty - L. H. Tribe) .
empower

verb

1. To give authority to: accredit, authorize, commission, enable, entitle, license, qualify. See allow/prevent.
2. To give the means, ability, or opportunity to do: enable, permit. See allow/prevent.
1. To invest with power, especially legal power or official authority. See synonyms at authorize.
2. To equip or supply with an ability; enable: “Computers … empower students to become intellectual explorers” (Edward B. Fiske).

em·pow'er·ment n.

USAGE NOTE Although it is a contemporary buzzword, the word empower is not new, having arisen in the mid-17th century with the legalistic meaning “to invest with authority, authorize.” Shortly thereafter it began to be used with an infinitive in a more general way meaning “to enable or permit.” Both of these uses survive today but have been overpowered by the word's use in politics and pop psychology. Its modern use originated in the civil rights movement, which sought political empowerment for its followers. The word was then taken up by the women's movement, and its appeal has not flagged. Since people of all political persuasions have a need for a word that makes their constituents feel that they are or are about to become more in control of their destinies, empower has been adopted by conservatives as well as social reformers. It has even migrated out of the political arena into other fields.•The Usage Panel has some misgivings about this recent broadening of usage. For the Panelists, the acceptability of the verb empower depends on the context. Eighty percent approve of the example We want to empower ordinary citizens. But in contexts that are not political the Panel is markedly less enthusiastic. The sentence Hunger and greed and then sexual zeal are felt by some to be stages of experience that empower the individual garners approval from only 33 percent of the Panelists. The Panel may frown on this kind of psychological empowering because it resonates of the self-help movement, which is notorious for trendy coinages.

Explanation:
Tu opción me parece buena puesto que para que alguien te represente debes autorizarlo o facultarlo para ello. No es una traducción literal pero implica autorización.

Saludos, Sery
