Question

Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. Let

us call this horizontal distribution of power because it allows different organs of government placed at the

same level to exercise different powers. Such a separation ensures that none of the organs can exercise

unlimited power. Each organ checks the others. This results in a balance of power among various

institutions. In a democracy, even though ministers and government officials exercise power, they are

responsible to the Parliament or State Assemblies. Similarly, although judges are appointed by the

executives, they can check the functioning of executive or laws made by the legislatures. This arrangement

is called a system of checks and balances.
