Topic Content:

  • Executive Relationship with Other Arms of Government

The constitution and other arms of government exert some form of control or check on the executive as it helps to reduce the dictatorial tendencies of the executive.

They include:

(i) The constitution specifies, clearly, the powers of the executive in the constitution. Any act or power contrary to this can be declared ultra vires.

(ii) Actions of the executive can be challenged in a court if they are unconstitutional, the court declares them unconstitutional through judicial review or ultra vires.
