Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To ensure that no one person or branch of the government could ever become overly dominant, the separation of powers principle was inserted into the U.S. Constitution.

Detailed explanation-2: -To be sure that one branch does not become more powerful than the others, the Government has a system called checks and balances. Through this system, each branch is given power to check on the other two branches. The President has the power to veto a bill sent from Congress, which would stop it from becoming a law.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the process a system of checks and balances governs the inter-organ relations. The theory of Checks and Balances holds that no organ of power should be given unchecked power in its sphere. The power of one organ should be restrained and checked with the power of the other two organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Separation of powers is a model that divides the government into separate branches, each of which has separate and independent powers. By having multiple branches of government, this system helps to ensure that no one branch is more powerful than another.

Detailed explanation-5: -In conclusion, The Legislative Branch is the most powerful branch of the United States government not only because of the powers given to them by the Constitution, but also the implied powers that Congress has. There is also Congress’s ability to triumph over the Checks and balances that limits their power.
