Abstrakt: | The rule of division of power belongs to a few fundamental maxims of democratic
government but, paradoxically, it is probably the most vague one. In the literature
of the subject some major terminological divergencies come to the fore, accompanied
by the differences of opinion concerning some substantial issues affecting the
mentioned precep.1 It needs then to construct its general definition - so as to identify
properly the relative maxims - to clarify its basic terms, and to discern some levels
within which it can be analyzed. For there are almost as many interpretations of
the principle of distribution of power as the authors who examine it. In view of this,
some terminological considerations, even condensed ones, are indispensable. |
