Preferred term

executive power  

Definition

  • The separation of powers theory, as developed by the 18th-century French political philosopher Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, distinguishes between executive, legislative, and judiciary power as three branches of government that are not to infringe on each other's constitutionally vested competences. The executive consists of a government, its ministerial bureaucracy, and subordinate governmental agencies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Power; Executive Power]
