The Executive Branch acts in conjunction with the other two: the Legislative and the Judiciary, and despite the common census, the Executive is not superior to them. The three powers work together and must coexist independently, harmoniously and collaboratively.

In the tripartite current elaborated by the philosopher Montesquieu, the executive branch is one of the three bodies in charge of the general governance of a State, with its most frequent duties being the enforcement and protection of laws, the administration of public resources and institutions, the conduct of diplomatic and the conclusion (signing, negotiation or undoing) of international treaties. Except in special cases, it is not up to the executive to draft laws (function in charge of the legislature) or to interpret them (judiciary).
