Historically the public power is divided into (Charles Louis Montesquieu:

  • Executive power
  • Judiciary

More recent concepts add, for example, control and supervisory power.

The most typical representative of public power is a state power, which is provided by the state apparatus, i.e. the sum of all organs of the state power. The exercise of public power is primarly the provision of administrative services and within the protection of public interest.
