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.

Montesquieu's tripartite system is the system used in the US federal government. The checks and balances means that each branch of the government has a unique role, but they are able to keep the other branches in check and no one branch has ultimate authority.
