Separation of Powers
Separation of powers
is a political
doctrine
originating
in the writings of Charles de Secondat,
Baron de Montesquieu
in The Spirit of
the Laws,
in which he argued for
a constitutional government
with
three separate branches,
each of which
would have defined
abilities
to check
the powers of
the others.
This philosophy
heavily influenced
the writing of
the United States
Constitution,
according to which
the Legislative,
Executive,
and
Judicial branches
of the United States
government are
kept distinct
in order to
prevent
abuse of power.
This
United States form of
separation of powers is
associated with
a system of
checks and balances.
