Cevap
The separation of powers protects the independence of judges by ensuring that those who make and enforce the laws cannot interfere with or influence court decisions.
The separation of powers ensures that the Judiciary remains independent. This means that judges and magistrates can make legal decisions based only on the law and the facts of a case, without any pressure or influence from the politicians who make the laws (Parliament) or the government ministers who put them into action (Executive).
