Your founding father dudes split up the powers into an Executive branch ( da Prez)

a Legislative branch ( your ELECTED Congress: the House and the Senate)

and a Judicial Branch ( the Supreme Court, etc)

The plan: no more Kings or hereditary leaders. (You ELECT your prez, sort of).

Oh yes, and may I apologize for that little mis-understanding and fire, back in 1812.

The Framers limited government power by creating a federal structure (federalism) that divided the responsibilities for governing between the national and state governments. In addition, the national government's power was limited by dividing its functions among three branches according to a principle called separation of powers. Finally, the Framers created a system of checks and balances by which the actions of one branch might be blocked by another.
