Separation of Powers

Plain-language explanation

Separation of powers means that law-making, administration, and judging disputes should not be controlled by the same office.

Why it matters

Separation of Powers matters because constitutional language only becomes useful when ordinary people can connect it to real institutions, public services, and personal rights.

Practical example

A Parliament debates a budget, an executive department implements it, and a court reviews whether a decision was lawful.

Civic relevance

It helps citizens ask who made a decision, who supervises it, and how unfair conduct can be challenged.
