Class 7Social ScienceThe Constitution of India – An Introduction

Why was it necessary to include the concept of "Separation of Powers" in the Constitution?

Verified Answer

    • The separation of powers prevents concentration of authority in a single body and protects citizens from misuse of power.
    • By dividing duties among the legislature, executive and judiciary, the Constitution creates a system of checks and balances where each branch can limit the others if needed.

    This arrangement helps maintain democratic rule, ensures accountability and allows each branch to function independently while respecting the overall constitutional framework.
