What are the consequences of having a political system with power dispersed across different institutions?

There are both positive and negative consequences for this.

- The decision making process is becoming less efficient (Negative)

When the power is dispersed across different instruction,  a program need to be examined and approved by different government officials from different constitutions. This will make the process become longer and more complicated compared to having only one institution responsible.

- It limit the power of the government (positive)

Even though this make government activities less efficient, it actually act as a pretension from the government from abusing its power.. Having one institution that in charge of every thing can be risky. If that institution is corrupt, there's nothing that can stop them from passing any type of legislations that they want.

- Each institutions can focus on different issues at once (positive)

By dispersing the power, the government can dedicate each institution to focus all of its time and resources in handling a certain type of issues . Each institutions can also hire only officials with profound knowledge in one specific field in order to increase their productivity.

from thales, who is often considered the first western philosopher, to the stoics and skeptics, ancient greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the western intellectual tradition. here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. we find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the milesian thinkers, and we hear democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. with socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. with plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. plato’s student, aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. he wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. the hellenists—epicurus, the cynics, the stoics, and the skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation.

with this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of athens. after the fall of alexander the great, and because of aristotle’s ties with alexander and his court, aristotle escaped the same fate as socrates by fleeing athens. epicurus, like xenophanes, claimed that the mass of people is impious, since the people conceive of the gods as little more than superhumans, even though human characteristics cannot appropriately be ascribed to the gods. in short, not only did ancient greek philosophy pave the way for the western intellectual tradition, including modern science, but it also shook cultural foundations in its own time.
