Separation of powers is the principle of American government whereby constitutional authority is distributed among three braches of government--the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Each has their own powers and can check the powers of the other two branches. The Constitution set up each branch in a separate Article of the Constitution.
There is also a separation of power among the US states
