    The term "trias politica" or "separation of powers" was coined
    by Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de
    Montesquieu, an 18th century French social and political
    philosopher. His publication, Spirit of the Laws, is considered
    one of the great works in the history of political theory and
    jurisprudence, and it inspired the Declaration of the Rights of
    Man and the Constitution of the United States. Under his
    model, the political authority of the state is divided into
    legislative, executive and judicial powers. He asserted that, to
    most effectively promote liberty, these three powers must be
    separate and acting independently.

    Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron


    de La Brède et de Montesquieu
    The separation of powers is a
    fundamental principle in our system of
    government. It obtains not through express
    provision but by actual division in our
    Constitution. Each department of the government
    has exclusive cognizance of matters within its
    jurisdiction, and is supreme within its own sphere.
    But it does not follow from the fact that the three
    powers are to be kept separate and distinct that
    the Constitution intended them to be absolutely
    unrestrained and independent of each other. The
    Constitution has provided for an elaborate system
    of checks and balances to secure coordination in
    the workings of the various departments of the
    government.

    Lesson #3: A Happy Ending Doesn’t Always Mean


    Being Together

    Fear can drive people apart


    Overthinking creates fear. We become our own inner
    saboteur when we let fear takeover our lives. Yes, we
    should be mindful and read the signs, but we
    shouldn’t allow ourselves to create imaginary
    problems. Everything should be done in moderation,
    which is easier said than done.

    Things can change


    Heraclitus once said, “The only
    Acceptance constant in life is change.” No
    The hardest part of a relationship is to let go of expectations and matter how good a relationship
    accept the reality presented to you. Be honest with yourself in gets, it can always change. Maybe
    everything you do. Learn to accept what fate has brought you. When for the better. Maybe for the worse.
    all is said and done, at least you could say you tried.
