Separation of powers - the spirit of exercising national sovereignty through representation

Abstract

The construction and strengthening of a democratic state governed by the rule of law, in which human dignity, human rights and freedoms, the free development of the human personality, justice and political pluralism represent the highest values and are constitutionally guaranteed, perhaps by ensuring the exercise of national sovereignty through representation, only through the application of the principle of separation of powers in the state, which represents the mechanism of degeneration towards despotism. In this article we would outline the essence of the etymology, as well as the normative concept of the ,,national sovereignty”, as well as its inherent properties. At the same time, we would argue about the dialectical connection between ,,national sovereignty” and the principle of ,,separation of powers”, which guarantees the exercise of national sovereignty through representation.
