Plural Executive Theory

Plural Executive Theory is a government structure where executive powers are divided among multiple independently elected officials rather than concentrated in a single leader, like a governor or president. This system aims to prevent any one person from holding too much power by spreading responsibilities across officials such as an attorney general, secretary of state, and treasurer. Each official has independent authority over their specific role, promoting accountability and reducing the risk of abuse of power. It’s used in some states to create a balanced and distributed executive branch.
