Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of separation of powers is attributed to Charles Louis Montesquieu, who believed that dividing government into separate branches with distinct powers would prevent any single branch from becoming dominant and oppressive. The Canadian parliamentary system is based on this concept, with the executive branch (led by the Prime Minister) separate from the legislative branch (House of Commons and Senate) and the judicial branch (Supreme Court of Canada).
