12. Explain the ways in which power sharing
between different organs of the
government results in
the maintenance of balance of power
Answers
Answer: ● The power is shared among different organs of the government through the horizontal distribution of power arrangement.
● These organs are - Legislature, Executive and Judiciary.
● The legislature is responsible for making laws.
● The executive is responsible for executing these laws.
● Judiciary has the responsibility to provide justice to the people and settle disputes.
● In this system, different organs of the government who are operating at the same level are given different powers.
● This is called the separation of power.
● It keeps a check on the working of the different organs so that none of them exercises unlimited powers.
● It also promotes a balance of power in the government.
● So, this system is also called checks and balances.
