Power is distributed among different branches of government through a system known as separation of powers, which typically includes the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. This framework ensures that no single branch has absolute authority, promoting checks and balances that prevent abuse of power. The Executive carries out laws, the Legislative makes laws, and the Judicial interprets laws. Each branch has specific responsibilities and powers, enabling them to hold one another accountable and maintain a balance of governance, ultimately safeguarding democratic principles.
