Cevap
The primary purpose is to ensure that no single group or branch of government has complete power or control.
The principle of separation of powers is designed to protect democracy by ensuring that power is not concentrated in one place. By having separate groups make the law, administer the law, and interpret the law, the Constitution creates a system of checks and balances.
