The difference between the  horizontal division of power and vertical division of power are :

1.  Horizontal Power sharing refers to the power sharing among the different organs of the government. For example, Legislature is empowered to legislate, the executive is empowered  to executive the law and power of the judiciary is to implement the law.

.  So here each organ exercises different powers at the same level.

.  One organ observes the other.

2.  Vertical Power Sharing refers to the power sharing among the different levels of the government.
