Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Separation of powers is most closely associated with political systems, in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government are vested in separate bodies. In the U.S. and U.K. separation of powers is the tripartite system whose intent is to provide checks-and-balances for the different branches.
Detailed explanation-2: -Montesquieu, a French scientist, originally proposed the doctrine of separation of powers in his book “Espirit des Louis” published in 1747. (The spirit of the laws). Montesquieu discovered that when power is concentrated in the hands of a single person or a group of people, a despotic government emerges.
