Answer 2

Clear-cut division of powers

Explanation:

• Separation of powers or clear division of responsibilities refers to divisions of responsibility in different branches, which restrict each division from exercising core functions of another. The aim is to avoid power concentration and to ensure controls and balances
• The object of the division of powers principle is to disseminate political authority such that absolutism is prevented and to protect from authoritarian and tyrannical control  and any task is ideally delegated to an institution that is better able to execute it.
• The division of powers guarantees that no misuse of authority is perpetrated and that the divisions are incapable of intervention, avoids coercion within the roles and allows each division the right to check and compare the benefits of the doctrine.
