Three branches of power

Three branches of state power have long been singled out . Why is this division necessary? The bottom line is that too much authority should not be in the hands of some people. For example, one body should not create laws that will later influence people's behavior.

Branches of power: types, essence, difference, influence on each other

Legislative power in virtually all civilized countries is considered the power of the people. How can this be understood? It is believed that the only source of power is the people. Why then do new people accept specific people and organs? It's all about representation. It is believed that the people choose those who are trusted by the creation of new laws.

Yes, the legislative branch of power is strong, as it has the exclusive right to pass laws. Laws passed in the parliament may not be approved by the executive authorities, but the legislative branch can also exert some influence on the executive. Here everything is built on the so-called "checks and balances" system, thanks to which the branches of power are always on an equal footing and in no way can influence decisions of each other.

Legislative power is an independent power. The draft laws should not be developed taking into account the interests of specific individuals, namely, taking into account the interests of all people living in the country.

Of course, the executive power is not connected with the drafting of bills. Its bodies are directly involved in the governance of the state. Its supreme body is the Government. What does the President of our country have to do with executive power? This question is not so simple. The fact is that the Constitution does not refer it to a specific branch of power, but according to the logic of things, it still gets executive power. The government is directly governed by the Prime Minister (Russia is a presidential-parliamentary republic). The President of the Russian Federation has influence on the Government, but nothing concrete can be said about the degree of this influence. Many famous lawyers have long argued about this.

The executive branch of power acts on the basis of laws passed by the parliament, local self-government bodies and so on. You can say that it implements these laws. It also ensures their execution.

This branch of power operates throughout the country, and its operation is continuous. Yes, it is independent, but the actions of people with executive and administrative powers should not go beyond the bounds of the adopted laws. Illegal actions are not permissible under any circumstances.

The branches of power are three. What is the third? Trial. Many well-known lawyers consider it the most independent. It is designed to protect the law and act as an arbiter in disputes that arise over him.

The judicial power is in the hands of the judges, that is, those people who, based on the law, must administer justice. Judges are inviolable, independent, irremovable, appointed, but in their decisions on specific cases they can rely only on the current legislation. Any attempts to at least somehow influence the judgments are brutally suppressed. Crimes against judges are considered very serious.

The separation of powers has existed in the world for a long time. What about our country? First of all, it should be noted that the Soviet authorities did not recognize the three branches of power and believed that everything should be concentrated in the same hands. They considered the separation of powers a bad idea, which could only be born in the minds of bourgeois thinkers of other countries. The USSR broke up - three independent branches of power appeared.
