English question. What do these "which"es refer to?
The following sentence is extracted from the draft of the Constitution of Japan made by General Headquarters, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, which occupied Japan after the Second World War.
It’s just a draft and a little different from the Constitution itself.
Government is a sacred trust the authority for which is derived from the people, the powers of which are exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits of which are enjoyed by the people.
What do these“which”es refer to?
“Government” or “(a sacred) trust?
And what does this “authority” mean?
Thank you in advance.

government, but since it is a sacred trust, that's true as well.
"Authority" means "justification".

1st "which" is for the Allied Powers (in 1st paragraph)
2nd 3rd and 4th "which" are for the sacred trust
They mean the government's authority to uphold that "sacred trust."
I think!
