Montesquieu was the one who clearlyformulated the principle of separation of powers, inspired by the ancient Aristotle and the Englishphilosopher Locke, having the English regime as amodel, which had known separation of powersfrom the XIII century (legislative, executive and judicial). Montesquieu preconfigured a politicalsystem that highlighted a moderate government, by ensuring separation of powers and politicalfreedoms, where political freedoms can be exercised only in a government where power is limited.The doctrine of specialty defines executive power as a distinct function of the state, among thelegislative and judicial functions. Thus, in this function are found certain duties which are subject todistinct activities of public authorities. Among these tasks, Jacques Cadart nominated: defining thegeneral policy of the country, drafting of laws necessary for the carrying of this policy, the adoptionof necessary regulations and individual law enforcement decisions for the operation of publicservices, enterprise performance measures material on public order, territorial arrangement of thearmed forces and police, and management of international relations. %K separation of powers %K presidential system %K constitutional regimes %U http://www.proceedings.univ-danubius.ro/index.php/eirp/article/view/1323/1188
