A repartição equilibrada dos Poderes entre os diferentes órgãos, de modo que nenhum deles possa ultrapassar os limites estabelecidos pela Constituição sem ser contido pelos demais, consagra o célebre sistema de freios e contrapesos.
Verdadeira
Falsa
Answer explanation
O Sistema de Freios e Contrapesos consiste no controle do poder pelo próprio poder, sendo que cada Poder teria autonomia para exercer sua função, mas seria controlado pelos outros poderes. Isso serviria para evitar que houvesse abusos no exercício do poder por qualquer dos Poderes (Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário). Desta forma, embora cada poder seja independente e autônomo, deve trabalhar em harmonia com os demais Poderes.
