Explain how the principle of separation of powers helps to prevent abuse of power in a democratic government.
Answer Options
A.
By concentrating law‑making, law‑enforcing and law‑interpreting functions in a single body, the system ensures efficient decision‑making, reducing the risk of abuse.
B.
By allowing each branch to veto the others' decisions, the system prevents any legislation from being passed, thus avoiding abuse.
Correct Answer
C.
By allocating law‑making, law‑enforcing and law‑interpreting functions to separate bodies, the system creates mutual checks that stop any one branch from concentrating power, thereby limiting abuse and protecting liberty.
D.
By rotating the powers of law‑making, law‑enforcing and law‑interpreting among the branches each year, the system keeps power fluid and prevents long‑term abuse.
