In general terms, nearly every governmental system gives particular duties to each branch of government within it. At the same time, 'constitutional' systems are rightly famous in respect to their careful delineation of distinct branches of government and the proper duties for each; for example, the American system provides very clear guidance on the duties for its judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government.

Separation of Powers.
The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful.
Equal power.
Checks and balances are a system that allows multiple branches of government to share power and prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. There are three main examples of checks and balances within the United States government: The Executive Branch has the power to veto any legislation passed by Congress. This gives the Executive Branch a check on the Legislative Branch. The Judicial Branch has the power to review legislation passed by Congress and declare it unconstitutional. This gives the Judicial Branch a check on the Legislative Branch. The Legislative Branch has the power to approve or reject any Presidential appointments to the Supreme Court. This gives the Legislative Branch a check on the Executive Branch.All three branches of government are able to act as a check on each other ensuring that no one branch is able to become too powerful and overwhelm the other branches.

The statement, "The parliamentary form of government gives most of the power of government to the executive" (that is, to the executive branch of the government), is in fact generally false. While an executive branch of a parliamentary system may in fact have tremendous freedom to act politically as its particular genius dictates, it nevertheless receives legitimacy from the legislative branch of the government, which retains the power to revoke the power of the executive branch by formal schedule, in identifiable emergency-situations, or otherwise.
Each branch of the US government receives its authority from the Constitution, which is not a branch of government itself, but a set of guidelines the Founding Fathers created to establish the federal government. The first three Articles assign separate powers to each branch.Article I Legislative branch (Congress: House of Representatives and the Senate)Article II Executive branch (President)Article III Judicial branch (US Supreme Court and the federal court system)
The Unitary system of government gives all key powers to the national government.
Checks and Balances are a thing in the government that are used to make sure that power is distributed equally and that there aren't any mistakes.
