to spread power equally between the three branches..
Separation of power is the model. This is what balances power between the executive and legislative branch of government.
The balance of power between the three branches of government is even, since the founding fathers wrote checks and balances into the Constitution. The congress makes the laws, which can be vetoed by the president. The congress can over rule the president, and the judicial system can rule the laws unconstitutional.
This system keeps the power between the three branches of government in the U.S. balanced. It doesn't allow one branch to have more power than the other. Without this system, one of the branches of our government would be in control, which is not how our democracy works.
Each branch checks the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them.
