Answer:
In
modem democracies, power sharing arrangements can take many forms. The most
common forms are
(i) Horizontal Power Sharing When power is shared among different organs
of government, such as the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. It allows different
organs of government placed at the same level to exercise different powers. This
arrangement is called a system of checks and balances because each organ checks
others to balance power.
(ii) Vertical Power Sharing When power is shared among
different levels of government like Central Government, State Government,
Municipality and Panchayat level. In India, we have Central or Union Government,
State Governments and local governments like Municipalities and Panchayats.
(iii) Power may also be shared among different social groups like women,
weaker sections of society, etc through constitutional and legal arrangements.
