The American model of the division of the three arms of government seems to be the safest. It is the most balanced. How the executive is constituted, whether a “presidential” system or prime minister or both a head of state and prime minister I leave to others.
The rights of the people are probably a thornier issue. While we might all agree that murder and racism are bad, do we all agree on freedom of the press? Freedom of religion (what is religion?), freedom of expression (how much is too much?)?
These rights, when agreed on, must be protected by a strong judiciary and rule of law (as well as respect for law) to prevent the whims of an executive from stepping on them.
