English translation:principal OR: mandator
Explanation:
To strasznie ciekawe, co znalazl Robert, gdyz w istocie Black's na pierwszym miejscu daje takie znaczenie. Przyznam sie jednak, ze nigdy nie spotkalem sie z takim mocodawca w praktyce i mysle, ze moze sie to brac stad, iz - goes on Black's - "It is also used in the language of politics: the constituents of a legislator being those whom he represents, usu. the electors of his district."

Principal (law of agency) = The source of authority or right. (...) describes one who has permitted or directed another (i.e. agent or servant) to act for his benefit and subject to his direction and control, such that the acts of the agent become binding on the principal.

Mandator = The person employing another to perform a mandate. A mandate, procuration, or letter of attorney is an act by which one person gives power to another to transact for him and in his name one or several affairs.

Power of attorney = An instrument in writing whereby one person, as principal, appoints another as his agent and confers authority to perform certain specified acts on behalf of the principal.

Many thanks.
