Summary/Abstract: The theory of a clear separation of powers in a state had been already proved to be simplistic and out-dated. Still, there are many to support it and claim this principle as the source of any democratic regime. Separation may trigger independence but also non-cooperation, while the main issue of reciprocal control remains still out of picture. Who is supposed to keep the balance and on what grounds? This study is meant to underline some seminal steps of the modern history of this debate, so often overrode or even denied. People’s fear seeks power to protect against, instead of governing together with the others
