What is the difference between Legislative and Executive?
Our political system is based on the principal of separation of power between legislative , executive and judiciary.Easiest way to understand this is...Legislation means law making Legislative body is our parliament because it is responsible for making laws, policy and programs.Executive - They make sure that all these programs are implemented and executed properly. Basically they deal with administration. Eg. Bureaucracy,IAS , IPS.For example- GST is passed by parliament (legislatives includes all the ministers involved) and it will be implemented by executives later on.Judiciary - It keeps check on both .Supreme court checks the validity of law. And also direct the bureaucracy at different events.Recent years, congress govt passed jat reservation bill but SC scrapped it.
What is the difference between legislature, executive and judiciary?
While framing the Indian constitution the Constituent Assembly was working meticulously to frame a system of Governance in which the powers conferred by the people won't be vested on a single person/institution. Hence they devised the principle of 'Separation of powers' among the three pillars of democracy !ExecutiveLegislatureJudiciary Executive : Prime Minister along with his council of ministers is called the Temporary Executives. They implement the policies framed by the legislature. They are elected for every five years and hence called as Temporary Executives. These executives are drawn from the legislature. Civil servants and other officers, staffs working under the government of India is called the Permanent Executives. They are assigned the task of policy implementation.Legislature : It is the policy making body of India. Each and every bill proposed by the executive has to be initiated, discussed, reviewed, amended and voted upon in the legislature. So ultimately it is the legislature that decides which bills should be passed. The Executive can bypass the legislature through Ordinance. But the validity of this ordinance is six months only and it has to be ratified by the legislature.Judiciary : Judiciary is the adjudicating body.Indian judiciary is an integrated and independent judiciary meaning Supreme court is at the helm of the judiciary and all other courts comes below the Supreme court and the Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.Judiciary has the power to review any law passed by the Parliament and can declare a law null and void if it violates the constitution.As seen above it is clear that the role of three pillars of democracy is defined clearly and it is also ensured that no single body exerts undue influence over the other.Jai Hind !!!
What is the difference between executive, judical, and legislative?
First, let's spell the word right: it's spelled "judicial" (with another "i" in the back end between the "c" and the "a")," not "judical." I assume that you're talking about the three different "branches" of our government. Here's a way to remember what they mean: Our country's LEGISLATIVE branch (the U.S. Congress) is the "legal" branch of our government (get it? LEGal and LEGislative?) The legislative branch of government makes LEGAL laws to govern how our country behaves and operates. They make LAWS _LEGAL_ (laws that must be observed by everyone). Got it? "LEG" = "LEGAL" Our country's EXECUTIVE branch _EXECUTES_ the laws that Congress passes. Congress PASSES LEGAL LAWS. The country's EXECUTIVE branch (The President, the Justice Department, Department of Labor, etc.) makes sure that these laws are obeyed by all the citizens of our country. They EXECUTE (put into force) the laws by making sure everyone knows about them and obeys them. Think of it this way: If you don't obey the laws, the EXECUTIVE branch of our government will EXECUTE you. They will make you stand in a court of law and, if you are guilty of breaking a law, they will send you to prison (or worse). Got it? "EXECUTIVE" = "EXECUTE" When you are accused of breaking a law and made to stand in a court of law, it is the JUDGE of that court who will determine if you are innocent or guilty of breaking the law. The JUDGE makes a determination, or JUDGMENT about whether you should go to jail or not. Got it? "JUDICIAL" = "JUDGES" making "JUDGMENTS" of guilt or innocence. "Legal LEGISLATIVE Laws" must be obeyed or you will be EXECUTED to the full extent of the power given to those who _enforce_ the laws and you will be taken in front of a JUDICIAL judge who will determine if you are innocent or guilty.
What is the difference between executive power and legislative power?
Executive power is the power to execute, or put into effect, and to enforce laws. While we generally think of the president when we think of the executive branch, it also includes the military and even police at the local level. In practice, the executive branch can shape the way that a law impacts the citizens by the interpretation given to the law and the way that it is enforced. The highest levels of the executive branch, such as the president or governor, also have the duty of signing laws or vetoing laws. If they sign a law passed by the legislature, it goes into effect. If they veto a law, it goes back to the legislature, where the lawmakers have a chance to overturn the veto by passing it again with a two-thirds majority.The legislative branch makes laws. While the actual work of drafting a law can be done by just about anyone, those proposed laws must be reviewed, debated and voted on by the legislature. Only after receiving sufficient votes does it become a law. Depending on the type of bill being debated, the number of required votes may be a simple majority, three-fifths, majority, or two-thirds majority. These thresholds are set out in the constitution.
What powers do Judicial Branch hold over the Executive/Legislative? Where in the US Constitution is this said?
The greatest power the judicial branch holds over the other branches is judicial review. Judicial review is the power of the federal courts to review legislation passed by the Congress and determine its constitutionality. If the court determines a law is unconstitutional, it is struck down. This power was not specified in the constitution, but rather established by the precedence of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. There is no judicial check of the other branches of government in the constitution. Article III of the constitution establishes the power of the judicial branch. Section 2 of that article defines the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
Legislative Branch - Executive Branch - Judicial Branch?
The government of the US is like a big tree- and with three branches. The 1st branch is the Legislative Branch where the laws are made. It's also another name for Congress. The top of the Congress is called the Upper House. Another name for it is the Senate. The Upper House has 100 Senators. They stay there for 6 years. There are 2 Senators from every state. The smallest state has 2 Senators. The biggest has 2 Senators also. The lower part of Congress is called the Lower House. But it has another name, too The House of Represenentatives. The Lower House has 435 Representatives, who stay there for 2 years. * The Executive Branch is the one where the President and his Cabinet are. It's called the Executive Branch because the President is the Chief Executive of the US. He is the top person in our government. The Cabinet is the President's most important helpers. All the members are hired by the President. Most are called "Secretaries"- Secretary of State, of Agriculture, of Treasury, etc. * The Supreme Court of the US is the Judicial Branch. The Justices of the Supreme Court sit on the bench of this Court. The Cheif Justice is the Head of the Supreme Court. There are 8 Associate Justices. The court is called Supreme because that's what it is- the highest court in the US. The 9 Justices know a great deal about the Constitution, the highest law of the US. But the Constitution is so hard to understand that the 8 Justices have to tell us what it means. Benjamin Franklin,George Washington, James Madison Jr, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, are the 6 people who where closely associated with the development of the Constitution. This should be all the info you need. Glad to have helped. Wish I had Yahoo Answers when I was in school. :)
If you were in charge of both the Executive and Legislative branches of the U.S. Government, what would you do?
I would start immediately on shrinking the Federal government and returning more power back to the states. Part of this would be the elimination or severe downsizing of a multitude of agencies and departments. (i.e Education ( this belongs to the States) and Commerce, to name just two)Simplify the tax system considerably, a massive reduction of corporate income tax (currently the highest in the world) in an effort to attract more investment and stimulate the economy and job growth.. Personal tax would be changed to a flat rate with as few exceptions as possible ( this would also result in a downsizing of the IRS) Impose two term limits on all elected federal offices, no more long term Senate or Congressional careers where an individual is doing no more than consolidating power and or wealth ( i.e. Harry Reid). Implement a solid plan to balance the budget and pay down the debt in as short a time period as possible without causing excessive economic grief.Secure the borders, particularly the southern one.Work towards eliminating the "Nanny State" that has evolved over the last 5 decades or so, and try to recreate the sense of pride Americans felt in their country and their own self sufficiency. I could go one, but the above alone would make for a very busy two terms in office
Is it a problem that Canada's executive and legislative branches are effectively merged for all practical purposes?
No, and the reason is because of Canadian culture.I've been reading (actually re-reading for the third time) Francis Fukuyama's The Origins Of Political OrderOne of the themes that Fukuyama's book identifies is both the precarious path that the Western liberal order came through (including some amazing analysis of failed liberal orders like medieval Hungary) and the powerful force that any order has on current political development.Fukuyama is talking about what Machiavelli called virtu. It's the difficult to define “something” that is built from thousands of voluntary interactions over generations. It's the source of how constitutional laws are codified, and how they survive.Like Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States and our parents in the nations of the UK, we have a long history with this thing called liberal democracy. That virtu, those cultural expectations of “peace, order and good government” are both incredibly precarious in their development and incredibly robust in their modern form.In recent history, when the Prime Minister tried to pull some minor control over the free speech of government scientists, the press and Parliament completely revolted. The Liberals made some mistakes, like the nomination of the wonkish Harvard professor Michael Ignatieff, and the NDP made serious gains but that changed in the nomination of Justin Trudeau.Liberals in Canada get complacent and corrupted over time, and the Conservatives party will find a more compelling leader. The strong parties and general tenor of centerist political principles in Canada is not tied to our laws or the structure of our government. It's virtu, which is hard to get and harder to get rid of than a political structure.I would be incredibly skeptical of any attempt to engineer a better system than the one that's evolved. We are incredibly lucky to have what we have, and I'm only inclined towards small, incremental changes.
Similarities between legislative and executive branch?
They're both "political," (as distinguished from being objective, like the judicial branch is supposed to be) and they're both elected, with terms of limited length (also unlike the judicial branch, which has life tenure).
