ABSTRACT
Montesquieu's theory involved, however, not merely the recognition of separate powers of functions of government, but also the existence of separate governmental authorities, to each of which one of the powers of government was to be intrusted. There are three kinds of authorities required to create any concrete government: judicial authorities, executive authorities, and administrative authorities. As government becomes more complex these three authorities are engaged in the execution of the will of the state, tend to become more and more differentiated. The two functions of government may for purposes of convenience be designated respectively as Politics and Administration. Politics has to do with policies or expressions of the state will. Administration has to do with the execution of these policies. The American executive has an important influence on the discharge of the function of politics through the exercise of its veto power.
