Most of the countries that once were colonies got the legal system of their new 'mother' country. So many former colonies still have a legal structure based on the European legal systems, which usually entails the system of 3 mutually independent 'powers' within Government: legislative, judicial and executive.

Third world countries that were never colonised mostly did not have such a '3 powers'-system originally. Today however most countries - former colonies or not - have adapted the Western world's system of government, although the real power and independency of judges and Parliament may in some countries exist only in theory.
