Abstract
Unified platform is guaranteed to promotion of justice and equality in a country. Fair
constitutional building is the sign of separation, quality, law and liberty which
provide the way of good governance and rule of law. Americans adopted the theory of
separation of powers and checks and balances in their constitution to ensure rights,
liberty and equality and to stop any probable abuse of power in governmental
machinery. Separation of powers is the theory of Montesquieu who presented his
ideas about government, laws, liberty, human rights, slavery, separation of powers,
etc. He was against such political systems which could banish liberty, equality and
human rights. Both ideas are associated to distribution, and division of powers and
functions as well as to maintain balance of power among three institutions of
government including legislature, executive and judiciary. The interrelationship
between both ideas enhances the traditional, constitutional and democratic behaviors
in America promoting supremacy of the institutions. To analyze the practical
implementation of the above mentioned theories with special reference to the political
setup of America during the given period, this study primarily focuses on qualitative
data.
