What is Separation of Powers and Checks Balances about?
The U.S. Constitution incorporates the separation of powers and system of checks and balances to prevent any single branch of government from becoming too powerful. The system divides government into three co-equal branches - legislative, executive, and judicial - and gives each branch certain powers to check the others and balance governmental authority. Founding Fathers like James Madison implemented this system because they believed all people in power should be mistrusted.
