Abstract
The author reviews the checks and balances system as a precondition for the successful development of a rule of law state in Vietnam. Apart from the general considerations of the definition of the rule of law and its principles, the author gives a theoretical analysis of the functioning of the checks and balances regime in the rule of law state, their most important characteristics and also emphasises the consequences of a governmental system devoid of checks and balances. The main conclusion reached is that the system of checks and balances is necessary for the creation of the „rule of law state“ and that its development is never successful without the creation of an effective and practical state-power check regime through the public system to ensure the balance of the three powers (legislative, executive, and judicial).
