legislative-executive relations

Legislative-executive relations refer to how the law-making branch (legislature, like Congress) and the executive branch (the President or Prime Minister) work together or check each other’s powers. The legislature creates laws, approves budgets, and oversees the government, while the executive enforces laws and manages daily operations. Their relationship involves cooperation, negotiation, and sometimes conflict, with mechanisms like vetoes or overrides ensuring no branch becomes too powerful. This balance aims to promote effective governance while preventing abuse of power, maintaining a system of checks and balances fundamental to democratic governance.
