Source Based Question

16. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:
Source: Horizontal Power Sharing

Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and
judiciary. Let us call this horizontal distribution of power because it allows different organs of
government placed at the same level to exercise different powers. Such a separation ensures that
none of the organs can exercise unlimited power. Each organ checks the others. This results in a
balance of power among various institutions. Last year, we studied that in a democracy, even
though ministers and government officials exercise power, they are responsible to the Parliament
or State Assemblies. Similarly, although judges are appointed by the executive, they can check the
functioning of executive or laws made by the legislatures. This arrangement is called a system of
checks and balances.
(i) What is horizontal power sharing?
(ii) Why is it called as horizontal distribution of power?
(iii) What is system of checks and balances?
