Under horizontal distribution of power, power is shared among different organs of the government such as legislature, executive and judiciary. This system is also called system of ‘checks and balances’.
 
Reasons :
 
(i) All three organs of the government are placed at the same level.
 
(ii) The power distribution ensures that no organ enjoys unlimited powers.
 
(iii) Each organ exercises a check on the others. Thus, this results in a balance of power.
