The three branches of government share equal power in order for a fair governmental process. In addition, each branch of government has checks and balances on the other branches to ensure the separation of powers.
The Great Compromise thought of the idea of creating three branches of the government into order to divide the powers so that not one person/section could have complete power. Now the branches share the powers and make sure that one of the branches are doing their job without abusing their powers.

Why is it important for the three branches of government to share power
Federalism, created in the United States Constitution, is the dividing and sharing of powers between a central (national) government and local (states) government. The Constitution created a government with three branches, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each branch has it own powers but it also has powers in order to check the power of the other two branches and to share powers with the other two branches. Example: the Congress can pass a law, the President can veto or sign the bill into law, and the Supreme Court may declare the law unconstitutional.
In the United States of America, the concept of having three separate branches of government that share power is referred to as the "Separation of Powers". For the United States of America, those branches are the Legislative (i.e., Congress and Senate), Judicial (i.e, the Supreme Court), and the Executive (i.e., the President).
