Separation of powers

Explanation:

Separation of powers is a constitutionally backed system whereby the three branches or tiers of government : the executive, legislative and the judiciary are kept separate and given equal powers while being independent of one another so that they work to check and balance the other. It is practiced by the United States Federal system of government.
