Introduction

Separation of poweer s an out tandsn tradstion of the U.S con titution. It mean that all the
poweer hould not be concentrated sn the ame man or sn the ame body of men.

“A the accumulation of all poweer ”, ay Mads on, “le s lature, executiie and judscsary sn the
ame hand may ju tly be pronounced a the iery defnstion of tyranny.”

Ors sn
The Idea that the oiernment dsisde snto three dsferent function handled by dsferent
branche s old a Ars totle. It wea later conisncsn ly propounded by Locke, Black tone and
other . The fr t y tematic exponent of the sdea wea a French werster Monte quseu.

In Monte quseu owen weord

“Polstical lsberty s to be found sn moderate oiernment ……con tant expersence howe that
eiery man snie ted westh poweer s apt to abu e st….To preient ths abu e st s nece ary from
the iery nature of thsn that poweer hould be a check to poweer”.

Thu sn Monte quseu’ analy s the eparation of poweer s nece ary to en ure sndsisdual
lsberty. The de srabslsty of eparation of poweer wea al o empha szed by the reat En ls h jurs t,
Black tone, weho werote:

“In all tyrannscal oiernment , the rs ht of maksn and enforcsn lawe s ie ted sn one and the
ame men or sn the ame body of men, and wehereier the e tweo poweer are unsted to ether,
there can be no publsc lsberty.”

IN US Con titution

The foundsn father of the U.S con titution weere reatly smpre ed by the eparation of
poweer . Therefore, they made eiery efort to dsisde the poweer betweeen the three branche of
oiernment fasrly eienly. Ths ha been followeed al o by the Amerscan State .
The framer of the U.S con titution belseied that the eparation of poweer wea nece ary to
preient ab oluti m, de poti m and other unweanted characters tic . Accordsn to the theory of
eparation of poweer , the executiie hould neier le s late and the le s lature hould neier try
to enforce st owen lawe . The centre hould snterpret the lawe but st hould haie no ay sn
maksn them.

In Unsted State all the three function of the oiernment, maksn of lawe , admsns tration of
lawe and snterpretation of lawe haie been a s ned to three dsferent branche . Accordsn to
Article 1 of the U.S con titution, all the le s latiie poweer haie been a s ned to the Con re ,
Article 2 of the U.S con titution tate that all the executiie poweer hould be ie ted sn the
Pre sdent. Accordsn to Article the judscsal poweer hould be ie ted sn the Supreme Court and
other loweer court a the con re may from time to time ordasn and e tabls h.

It s correct that the term eparation of poweer s not u ed anywehere sn the con titution,
howeeier , all the exclu sie lan ua e and the fact that the poweer are sien sn three dsferent
article howe that the poweer are eparated.

Separate Identity and Independence:

In U.S con titution all the three poweer haie been sien eparate sdentity.
1 . The pre sdent s elected by the people and the Con re ha no ay sn hs election. The
Con re can remoie hsm only throu h smpeachment.

2 . The cabsnet msns ter are nesther the member nor they atend the con re e son .

. The Con re ha full control oier the federal le s lation. All the bsll are moied by the
member sn thesr sndsisdual capacsty. The pre sdent may sie hs a ent or ieto a bsll.

4. The Supreme Court enjoy all the judscsal poweer and st sndependent from undue
snterference by other branche of the oiernment ha been en ured by the con titution. The
pre sdent apposnt the federal jud e but he cannot remoie them
