Constitutional Morality requires respect for the principle of ______, meaning each organ of the State (legislature, executive, judiciary) must function within its constitutional domain without encroaching on others.
- collective responsibility
- separation of powers
- parliamentary supremacy
- executive privilege
Answer: separation of powers
Separation of Powers (implicit in Indian Constitution; not rigid like USA): (a) Legislature makes laws, (b) Executive implements laws, (c) Judiciary interprets laws and checks constitutionality. Constitutional Morality requires: (a) Courts don't usurp policy-making (judicial restraint), (b) Executive respects judicial orders, (c) Legislature doesn't override judicial review. Balance enables checks and balances while ensuring functional coordination for governance.
