Скачать или смотреть Kant's philosophy - Separation of powers and sovereignty

Kant supports the separation of the legislative, exective and judicative powers, already suggested before him by Montesquieu. However the legislative power to him is souvereign: Every subject of the state and also the two other powers are under the law which determines what is just and what is unjust. The lawgiver himself however cannot possibly be under the law, since it is only given by him. For that reason he must be irreprehensible and even like God's representative on earth and mustn't be able to commit an injustice, since he could not be held accountable for it. Kant wants to achieve this exactly through the separation of powers: The souvereign is to rule but not to govern the state.

On the separation of powers and the role of the overlord in the state Kant talks in the second section of On the common saying: That may be correct in theory but it is of no use for practice: https://hesperusisbosphorus.files.wor... as well as in the preliminary works to the same text: https://korpora.org/kant/aa23/125.html. To better understand this topic one should definitely also read his handwritten estate on the philosophy of right: https://korpora.org/kant/aa19/443.html and his lectures on the philosophy of right: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesa... (I am not aware of any English translations).
