What are the different forms of power-sharing in modern democracies? Give an example of each of these.

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\orange{Answer:-}}}}}$

There are different forms of power-sharing in modern democracies. These are given below:

• Horizontal distribution of power – Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. Example – India
• The federal division of power – Power can be shared among governments at different levels – a general government for the entire country and governments at the provincial or regional level. Example – India (Union Government & State Government)
• Community government – Power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. Example – Belgium
• Power-sharing between political parties, pressure groups and movements – Such competition ensures that power does not remain in one hand. In the long run, power is shared among different political parties that represent different ideologies and social groups.
