What are the different forms of power sharing in modern democracy?

Answer 1

• Horizontal power sharing

This is when the different departments of a government share the power equally. The main three departments of any democratic government, that share the powers of a country are the executive department, the legislative department and the judiciary arm. These three arms of government have equal say in the running of the country and they generally work hand in hand, to make certain that each is running correctly, and fairly.

• Vertical power sharing

Vertical power sharing is when the power is shared between the different levels of government, but the higher levels of government will have more say than the lower levels. The President will take advice from those beneath him, but ultimately the final decision, on any subjects related to the government, is down to him. The lower level organizations work under the higher level organizations and are instructed what to do, to achieve the fair and correct running of the country
