Explanation:
Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) was a Chinese political thinker, who is remembered as the Father of the Republic of China, because of his contributions to the fall of the autocratic imperial system in China. Sun was the first President of the Republic of China, although his regime lasted only for six weeks, he then became the founder of the Nationalist Party.
Sun was exposed to Confucian and Western cultures when he was growing up and was inspired by figures like Abraham Lincoln that made a great impact on his constitutional ideals.
Under Sun Yat-sen's ideology known as The Three Principles of the People (nationalism, democracy and livelihood) he stated that democracy had to be divided into a Five-Power Constitution:
The five branches are:
- Executive: President and cabinet, where the people should elect their President.
- Legislative: Elected representatives to form the Legislative Council.
- Judicial: Conduct legal matters, the heads of the Judicial branch should be appointed by the president with consent of the Legislative Council.
- Civil Service Examination: Used for selecting able government officials for the bureaucracy.
