Detailed explanation-1: -Separation of powers is the division of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of government. It minimises the possibility of arbitrary excesses by the government, since the sanction of all three branches is required for the making, executing, and administering of laws.
Detailed explanation-2: -Congress, as one of the three coequal branches of government, is ascribed significant powers by the Constitution. All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -The judiciary has the power of judicial review over the actions of the executive and the legislature. The judiciary has the power to strike down any law passed by the legislature if it is unconstitutional or arbitrary as per Article 13 (if it violates Fundamental Rights).
Detailed explanation-4: -Separation of powers is most closely associated with political systems, in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government are vested in separate bodies.
