In this article, the author argues that in modern political philosophy and legal science, the problem of separation of powers occupies a central place and determines the structure and functioning of state institutions. This principle, based on the works of classical political thinkers, became the basis for building States governed by the rule of law and democratic societies. The article is an introduction to the topic of separation of powers with a definition of its relevance and research objectives.In modern conditions, when issues of state stability, protection of citizens' rights and effective governance are becoming increasingly important, the issue of separation of powers is gaining new urgency. Globalization, technological changes and the challenges of modern society emphasize the importance of carefully considering this principle in the context of modern realities.
