Power is necessary in any government in order that it may enforce its rules. Without power, a government would not be able to enforce its laws and regulations, and chaos would ensue. However, it is important that power is kept in check by a system of checks and balances to ensure that it is not abused. In a democracy, power is distributed among different branches of government and limited by the Constitution.
