It divides the power into three branches so that limits any one branch from becoming too powerful. Much of the executive orders Trump is signing doesn't mean much because most of them have to go before congress. He can't put on a 20% tax on imports because congress has to pass that ( we better hope they don't pass it because we will pay the tax when we buy something not Mexico), he can't build the wall without congress, he just can't sign a paper and eliminate heath care. This is what Jefferson warned about ( Washington and Adams too) and made sure that no one branch became too powerful.
