Detailed Solution

The horizontal distribution system of power-sharing is called "checks and balances." The check on the working of all the organs on each other results in maintaining balance among the power of the different organs. The legislature makes a law on a particular subject on which the law should be made for the welfare of the people. After that, the executive implements the law and then the work of the legislature and executive is checked by the judiciary on grounds of justice of the law to the people of the country. This check maintains the balance of power among the organs of government.
