Detailed explanation-1: -Separation of powers is a doctrine of constitutional law under which the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) are kept separate. This is also known as the system of checks and balances, because each branch is given certain powers so as to check and balance the other branches.
Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. Constitution establishes three separate but equal branches of government: the legislative branch (makes the law), the executive branch (enforces the law), and the judicial branch (interprets the law).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
