Model Answer

Concentration of power in one organ leads to tyranny and abuse. Power must be distributed so that each organ checks the others, ensuring a balance of power and protecting citizens' rights.

Explanation

For a 1-mark answer, one clear sentence or two very short sentences suffice. Examiners look for the key idea: checks and balances — that no single organ exercises unlimited power, preventing tyranny. Mentioning "horizontal distribution" or "system of checks and balances" adds precision and can fetch full marks.
