Violation of Separation of Powers

 

 
 

 

The constitution is founded on the principle that it is an act of the people and is the framework of state government. The Constitution stands for the general principles under which the government must function. To avoid the accumulation of power in the "same hands" the separation of powers historically is a part of both state and federal constitutions. The Constitution of the State of Florida (1) divides the powers of the state government into three branches, legislative, executive and judicial and prohibits any person belonging to one branch from exercising any powers appertaining to either of the other branches unless expressly provided therein, a provision that is in most other state constitutions.

As an example as shown on the following pages in the State of Florida the Florida Bar was created and continues its existence in violation of the principle of separation of powers mandated under the Florida Constitution.
