Separation of Powers Doctrine

The Separation of Powers Doctrine is a principle that divides government into three branches—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial—to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The Legislative makes laws (Congress), the Executive enforces laws (President), and the Judicial interprets laws (Courts). This division ensures a system of checks and balances, so each branch can limit the powers of the others, promoting fairness and protecting individual rights. It encourages responsible governance by distributing authority and preventing abuse or tyranny.
