The judiciary remaining separate from Parliament and the executive strengthens which principle?

Correct answer: Separation of powers

Correct answer: A — separation of powers. In a constitutional democracy, the legislature makes laws, the executive implements policies and laws, and the judiciary interprets law and decides disputes. Their functions are connected, but they should not be controlled completely by one another. Keeping courts institutionally independent helps them review government action and protect rights without improper political pressure. A names this arrangement. B means rule by one political party and is unrelated to judicial independence. C means power passing through a family, which is contrary to democratic constitutional government. D means control by the military and is also opposite to civilian constitutional rule. Separation does not mean that institutions never interact; it means that each has a distinct role and constitutional limits. Memory cue: separate roles, shared constitutional accountability.
