Power is shared between different organs of the government such as Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. This system of power-sharing is referred to as a system of 'checks and balances' because:
(i) All three organs are placed at the same level of Power.
(ii) The power distribution ensures that no organ enjoys unlimited powers.
(iii) Each organ exercises a check on the others. Thus there is a balance of power.
