What Are The Three Branches Of Government

During the Press Conference I agreed with the political philosopher, Baron de Montesquieu. This actor suggests the division of states and the separation of powers within the government. This is a logical claim because it can prevent tyranny because the government will consists of groups of people who will discuss and make decisions within each of the three branches of government. This is extremely effective because many people with education and a different point of view can discuss and make decisions together instead of having one man to have complete power of the government and make decisions as he pleases. For example, if one of the branches wants to war and the other two branches believe that is not a good idea, they can overrule that decision and not go to war. In addition to that three branches of government, each of the branches can focus in their area of power. This is also good because the workload would be separated into three and that could alleviate the stress of decision making to three group of people instead of having it all on one
person. Also this could allow each group to actually make more logical decisions and make fewer mistakes. For example, the American government which was modeled with the separation of powers as well has three branches of government. The legislative branch which create laws, the executive branch who carries out the law, and the judicial branch that evaluates the law. The last reason why this government is powerful is that it could protect the liberty of the people.
The check and balance system allows each branch to “check” on the power of the other branch to make sure that the power is balanced between all of the them. For example, the legislative branch introduces a new law or bill. The executive branch will look over that law. If they don’t agree to it, they don’t need to sign it. However, if the legislative branch gets enough votes, they can overrule the executive branch and the law will be passed. Once that law is in its place, the people of the state or country can test that law out through the court system, which is under control by the judicial branch. If someone believes that the law is unfair they can file in a lawsuit and lawyers can argue over that law. The judge will decide which side of the argument was more convincing and it might be able to go to the Supreme
Court. Even though this government is great and all it has its flaws and other government may be close or better than this government. But they might have more flaws than this separation of powers as well. If your ideal government was to have a single man to go into power and rule the country and make all the right decisions, it is going to be very unlikely. He may get corrupted when he knows that his power is unlimited and can do whatever he pleases. Or you may believe democracy is a good form of government. Put in mind the fact that people will believe that they are equal to each other and they won’t try to improve their skills. There will be many more people who may be able to get into power and do better than a group of people who may not even know what they’re doing. Overall, the most ideal government would be the separation of powers because it has a lot of strengths and little weaknesses. The way it can involve a large portion of people to go into the government will help improve the ideas and decisions. The way it keep the government in check is also way more superior than the other types of government. So therefore I believe the separation of power is the ideal type of government.
