Senators and Representatives are a part of the Legislative Branch of government.
The principle of separation of powers refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to prevent concentration of power in any one person or group. This helps to uphold checks and balances in a democratic system and ensure accountability. It is typically seen in democracies where there are three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
They limited the powers of their government by Separation of Powers. This means that power is divided among 3 branches. The 3 branches are Judicial, Executive and Legislative.
The powers of government are divided into three branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) and each branch of the government should limit the power of the others. Note that in many countries of the world, the executive and legislative roles (e.g. prime ministers) are not entirely separate, at least not as much so as the judicial.
The judicial branch checks on the legislative to ensure that they are passing laws that are constitutional. The executive branch checks the legislative by having the veto power. Vetoing means he can refuse to sign a bill and send it back to the house or senate.
Executive - Executes and carries out laws; "enforces" them. Has the power to veto bills from Congress. President appointed for 4 years. Legislative - This is Congress/Senate, has the power to create laws. Senators appointed for 2 years. Judicial - This is the Supreme Court, has the power to interpret/understand laws and their language (e.g. understand what the Constitution meant by the 5th paragraph, and what that means in reality, etc.). Judges appointed for life.
Bicameral
the united states congress is a bicameral branch of government.bi-cameral means the house is divided into two chambers, one is the house and the other is the senate.the state ofnebraska is an example of a unicameral branch of their government where the legislative branch is not divided between congressmen and senators.
Checks and balances are in place so that no one branch of government becomes too powerful. Congress can veto the President's proposed laws, and the Supreme Court can rule that a law is unconstitutional. This way, the president does not have all the power and rule like a king.
The Judicial branch has what is known as Judicial Review, which means the Judicial Branch may invalidate laws made by the Legislative branch and executive orders made by the Executive branch that it determines is unconstitutional.
The Virginia plan created the three branches of the United States government. These are the executive, legislative and judicial branch. Each has its own specific powers and the ability to perform a system of checks and balances with the others as well.
