Separation of Power:
Is a concept in political science that refers to the division of
governmental responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch
from exercising too much power. This is often done through the creation of
checks and balances among the branches of government.
Montesquieu's theory: Montesquieu, a French philosopher of
the 18th century, is often credited with the theory of separation of powers.
According to Montesquieu's theory, “the powers of government should be divided
into three separate branches: the legislative, the executive, and the
judiciary.
1.the legislative branch is responsible for making laws,
2.the executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws,
and
3.the judiciary branch is responsible for interpreting laws
and resolving disputes.
