How is the role of the executive limited in a liberal democracy?

उत्तर
The role of the executive is limited by several mechanisms to prevent abuse of power. Firstly, the powers of the executive are defined by a written constitution and must operate within legal boundaries. Secondly, there is a clear separation of powers among the legislature, executive, and judiciary, ensuring that no branch becomes too powerful. Thirdly, the executive is accountable to the legislature, which can question its decisions and even remove it through votes of no confidence (in parliamentary systems). Lastly, the judiciary can review executive actions to ensure they conform to the constitution, reinforcing the rule of law. These limitations maintain a balance of power and protect individual rights and freedoms.
