Document from the year 2024 in the subject Law - Public Law / Administrative Law, grade: 1st, , course: Postgraduate Diploma in Public Law, language: English, abstract: How do political institutions shape democracy? What keeps power in check-and what happens when those checks fail? In every democratic society, the design and performance of political institutions determine how power is exercised, limited, and made accountable. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of institutional theory within the context of the United Kingdom's constitutional framework. Drawing on both classical political thought-from Plato, Aristotle, Locke, and Montesquieu-to contemporary institutional analysis and rational choice theory, James Michael Corbett examines how the legislature, executive, and judiciary interact to uphold the rule of law and prevent the concentration of power. His assignment traces the enduring questions that define public law: Who makes the rules, who enforces them, and who ensures justice when power is abused? Blending legal insight with political reasoning, the author invites readers to rethink the machinery of democracy and the principles that sustain it. A valuable contribution for scholars of public law, political science, and constitutional studies-and for anyone interested in the dynamics of power in democratic societies.
