0% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Executive power, Legislative power and Judicial power

National sovereignty in Haiti is based on the principle of the separation of powers, a direct legacy of the philosophy of Enlightenment integrated into the 1987 Constitution. Legislative power is exercised by Parliament (Senate and Chamber of Deputies), responsible for creating laws and controlling government action.Executive power is two-headed, shared between the President of the Republic, head of state, and the Government headed by a Prime Minister. Finally, the Judicial power, independent of the other two, is exercised by the Court of Cassation, the courts of appeal and the tribunals, guaranteeing the application of the law and respect for individual rights.This structure aims to prevent any dictatorial drift by establishing a system of "checks and balances", where each branch monitors and limits the influence of the others, thus ensuring the balance necessary for the functioning of a democratic state of law.
