Describe the two qualities of power separation principle. |
|
Answer» 1. Check on autocratic administration: The greatest quality of power – separation principle is that possibility of autocratic tendency in the administration is nipped in the bud. Many political thinkers have propounded and supported power-separation principle on this very basis. The principle at first checked the king from being autocratic and then put a check on legislature from turning autocratic. 2. Establishment of independent and impartial judiciary: The principle of power separation checks the legislature and the executive from interfering with the working of the judiciary. In the absence of this principle, the judiciary cannot function independently and impartially. Prof Laski has rightly observed, “The significance of the power – separation principle can be judged by the fact that it has established the freedom of the judiciary.” |
