Which one of the following is related with the doctrine of 'Separation of Powers' ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The doctrine of Separation of Powers, famously propounded by the French philosopher Montesquieu, is a fundamental principle of modern democracy. It aims to prevent the concentration of power and protect individual liberty by dividing the state into three distinct branches:

  • Legislature: The body responsible for making and enacting laws.
  • Executive: The body responsible for implementing and enforcing laws.
  • Judiciary: The body responsible for interpreting laws and resolving disputes.

In India, while the separation is not as rigid as in the United States (since the Executive is part of the Legislature in a parliamentary system), the Constitution maintains a functional balance. Article 50 (Directive Principles) specifically directs the State to separate the judiciary from the executive. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has recognized the separation of powers as an essential element of the Basic Structure of the Constitution.
