Explanation:

Akbar started Din-i Ilahi, it was a unified religion promoted by Akbar .  It was meant to merge elements of all the religions of his empire to reconcile the  religious differences of his courtiers. Most of the elements were from Hinduism and Islam. Some elements were also  from Zorastrianism, Christianity and Jainism.  

He promoted tolerance of other religions and encouraged religious and philosophical debates. An Ibadat Khana ( " House of Worship") was created to encourage religious and philosophical debates.  He repealed Jizya in 1568. From the discussions held at Ibadat Khana he found that no religion could claim to be superior to others.  Din-i Ilaahi was called Tauhid-i-Illahi in Akbar's period.  

The major feature of this religion was that there was no one was forced to accept it ,  there was no punishment, no reward or religious institutions.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
