Now that you have perspective on how the system is…

The concept of the Separation of Powers dates back to ancient Greece where for the first time the state was divided into branches, each having separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. In its ideal form, the system is supposed to ensure that “the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches.”(Czarny, 2016) Typically, the power is divided between three branches- legislature, executive, and judiciary as it is the case with the…

three most important things to building a strong government are separation of power, equal representation, and taxes. If these three things were not put into the Constitution then the government would not have been working right now because people would feel like their voice are being unheard and the government system would not be working. These are valuable things needed for a government that is all about its people. Separation of power is one of the important things that help build a…

They were immensely worried about one branch…

concepts of federalism, checks and balances, and the separation of powers.

Finally, the separation of powers is the idea that there should be separate…
