The “Separation of Powers” prevents tyranny within government. Each branch has certain responsibilities preventing too much power within the president or one specific branch. For example the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch passes or denies the law, and the judicial decides if the law is constitutional or not. If “Separation of Powers” were to not be in place one ruler ( President/King ) or branch would take charge in power and in past experiences they have found that form of government to be in unsuccessful. In conclusion, the “Separation of Powers” provides balance within the government preventing too much authority for one person/group.
