D.The Three Branches of Government
By the term three branches of government, we mean the legislative, executive, and jurisdictional powers.
1. The Legislative Power:
The qualification of this power comes from its main function, which is the power to legislate and make laws.
Given the importance of this power, it was necessary that it be attributed to the representatives of the people via the parliamentary institution, which is either composed of a single chamber “unicameral” or two chambers “bicameral”. Moreover, this institution is the result of centuries of struggle against despotism and absolute power. Its role and influence within the political game remain dependent, on the one hand, on the type and nature of the political regime adopted and, on the other hand, on the maturity of the society in democracy.
2. The Executive Power:
Similarly, this power, by its name, means a power that is responsible for enforcing or applying promulgated laws. Its function lies in the implementation of the general policy of the government and also of the laws promulgated.
3. The Judicial Power:
Judicial power is the power to judge and settle disputes, a power that is supposed to be as independent as possible because its function is to provide relative justice. Its independence, role, and organization differ from one state to another.
