What are some advantages of the separation of powers? Professor Saikrishna Prakash explains that there is specialization across all areas of society, allowing people to focus or develop expertise on particular tasks. The same is true in government. The three branches of government each have a specific role but there is also specialization within each branch itself.
Professor Saikrishna Prakash is the James Monroe Distinguished Professor of Law and Paul G. Mahoney Research Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. Professor Prakash’s scholarship focuses on separation of powers, particularly executive powers. He teaches Constitutional Law, Foreign Relations Law and Presidential Powers.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
