Another name for the separation of powers that was written into the U.S. Constitution is the system of checks and balances. Dividing power into three government branches (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) creates a system where each has the ability to keep a "check" on the power of the other two so that one person or group doesn't gain full control of the government.
