Division of Powers

The division of powers is a way to organize a government so that its responsibilities are split among different branches—typically the legislative, executive, and judicial. This separation ensures no single branch becomes too powerful. Each branch has its own specific roles: the legislative makes laws, the executive enforces them, and the judiciary interprets laws. This system provides a balance, encourages accountability, and protects individual rights by preventing any one branch from having unchecked authority. It’s a foundational principle in many democracies, promoting stability and fairness in governance.
