The limitation of power pursued by the West is based on the rule of law, and the executive power cannot be expanded indefinitely, but must be limited by the legislative power. However, this system does not mean that the executive power should be decentralized, on the contrary, the executive power must be fully concentrated in order to be truly exercised, such as the British prime minister and cabinet, the president of the United States. From the perspective of the concentration of administrative power in the West, the abolition of the prime minister and the strengthening of the monarchy are moving forward. In the later period of the cabinet, the emperor did not interfere in government affairs, which was an administrative waste opposed by the Rule of Law in the West.
