How the Doctrine of Separation of Power Works in the American Presidential System and Ethiopian Parliamentary System

More about the book

The paper examines the principle of separation of powers, a foundational constitutional concept aimed at preventing tyranny and safeguarding liberty. It contrasts the American presidential system, characterized by a strict division among the executive, legislature, and judiciary, with Ethiopia's parliamentary system, where powers are more fused, particularly between the executive and legislature. The analysis is structured into three parts: the original doctrine, the interactions among the branches in both systems, and the modifications made by the U.S. to the original principle.
