A. Most modern republics build in the concept of separation of powers in their Constitutions.

C. In the simplest form, there are at least three parts: the executive arm that makes and executes policies, the legislative arm that makes laws and holds the executive to account, and the judicial arm that adjudicates disputes and ensures that the other two arms do not violate the provisions of the Constitution.
D. In particular, Parliament and State legislatures have the important duty of monitoring the actions of the government and holding it to account.
E. Our Supreme Court has recognised separation of powers as part of the basic structure of the Constitution, and can therefore strike down even amendments to the Constitution that infringe upon this principle.
