Answer:
Horizontal distribution of power or system of 'checks and balances':
Horizontal distribution of power is also called as a system of 'checks and balances' because the power is divided horizontally among organizations in government such as Executive, Legislature, and legislative. As result of such type of arrangements, each organ excises its own power and also ensures that other organization is using it properly and is not misused.
