Abstract

This study aimed to state what is the principle of separation between constitutional system and authorities, and to identify the constitutional basis for the formation of the three authorities in both British and American political and constitutional systems and the competences of those authorities to find out the extent to which this is compatible with the principle of separation of authorities and the claim of the constitutionality of the state, and to achieve this, the researcher relied on The analytical descriptive approach and the comparative approach, and the study concluded that the principle of separation of authorities is the basis through which the state can be considered a constitutional state, where the characteristic of the constitutional state has disappeared from the British political system with regard to the formation of the three authorities and the competences of each of them, in contrast to the American political system, which was characterized by the constitutionality of the state due to its commitment to the optimal application of the principle of separation of authorities.
