The “executive power” concept is quite actively used in educational and scientific literature and regulatory documents. It requires a certain analysis of this category to understand its essence. The issues of theoretical and practical understanding of the problems of executive power law-making activity are constantly in the spotlight. It seems obvious that without defining the term “executive power” from the standpoint of legal science, it is impossible to judge its content in various fields of state activity. The foundations of scientific study were laid by such scientists as S.S. Alekseev, G.V. Atamanchuk, D.N. Bakhrah, I.L. Bachilo, R.F. Vasiliev, D.A. Kerimov, and others. The study purpose was to review the main issues of the formation of the concept of executive power. In the course of the study, logical, historical, comparative, and verification methods were applied. The author concludes that the executive branch is an independent and independent branch of state power within the framework of the principle of separation of powers. It is distinguished by its comprehensive, substantive and organizing nature, structuring into a single system of bodies that ensure the implementation of laws and regulations in established forms, procedures and methods within their powers.
