INTRODUCTION
Separation of powers is necessary as it helps the government to function and administer
properly. Simply said, power is dispersed across the various government organs, along with their
respective powers and responsibilities. Modern democracies include the separation of powers.
Through the balance of powers, this idea inhibits government corruption (Heidemann, 2017).
The appropriate division of powers amongst the governmental institutions ensures people'
equality and protection. The role of the government's three main organs is examined in this
article. The remedy of particular performance is highlighted, as well as the restrictions imposed
by courts in accordance with relevant case law and legislation. In addition, the article compares a
general partnership to a corporation on the basis of legal personality and liability limitations.
Finally, the article considers the ethical implications of firing an employee.
MAIN BODY
The United Kingdom's constitution is uncodified, and the lack of a formal written
constitution implies that there is no legal division of powers. They do, in reality, exist because
they overlap and collaborate.
The three major government organs play the following roles: The executive's government’s
one of the most important and primary function is to administer the state and its activities. This
type of government majorly focuses on enforcing or executing various laws made by the
parliament into the nation. The Crown and the Government comprise the executive branch,
which comprises the Head of State, the Queen in the United Kingdom, the Head of Government,
the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet of Ministers. The Prime Minister appoints the Cabinet
Ministers, which consists of 20 ministers from several government ministries. The executive
branch is responsible for developing and enforcing successful government policies. Furthermore,
the administration is accountable to Parliament for its policies, which has the ultimate ability to
remove a government and call a new election. Members of Parliament who represent the House
of Lords or the House of Commons are usually elected to rule (Reif, 2017). As a result of their
power to issue executive orders or decrees, the branch is often known as the source of law. Even
the Parliament may transfer its legislative authority to the Government for the purpose of
enacting subordinate laws. For example, the UK's Parliament passed the Sales of Goods Act
1979, which controls contract and commercial law.
