Difference between horizontal and vertical sharing.

Dear Student, 
Power sharing is an important part of Constitution. Every region has some sort of power sharing. It is divided into 2 parts :- horizontal and vertical power sharing. Both of them are different from each other in following ways :- 
  1. In Horizontal Division of powers, the power is shared among different organs of government such as, legislature, executive and judiciary. Whereas in Vertical Division of Power, power is shared at different levels, like, union, state & local levels.
  2. In horizontal division of powers, different organs of government have different powers. So, there is a concept of separation of powers. In Vertical Distribution of Power, the higher and lower level of Government are involved and their powers are clearly explained in the Constitution. 
  3. The concepts of checks and balances are shown in the Horizontal Division Of Power. The Depth of Democracy empowers the Vertical Division of Power as all powers are given by the Constitution. So, in the Vertical Distribution of Power, there is no checks and balance concept. 
  4. Horizontal distribution of power ensures that there is existance of the.concept of the expansion of democracy. The Vertical Distribution of Power ensures the deepening of the Democratic system. 
  5. India has Horizontal &Vertical Distribution of Power. Belgium ,Italy ,Iran are examples of Horizontal Distribution of Power & Pakistan, Bangladesh are examples of Vertical Distribution of Power.
