Checks and balances
Federalism is the combination of a national government and state governments, sharing power. Checks and balances refers to the limiting power that each of the branches of the national government (the executive, judiciary, and legislative) have on one another.
Yes, the power to check other government branches is a non-legislative power
The Framers structured the government in this way to prevent one branch of government from becoming too powerful, and to create a system of checks and balances. Under this system of checks and balances, there is an interplay of power among the three branches.

The Magna Carta was the key factor in Europe that lead to limiting the power of government.
Government's power is in three branches, as you may know; so they don't "get" their power, it is distributed.
The Five Principles of Government found in the Constitution of the United States are---Popular Sovereignty; Checks and Balances; Federalism; Limited Power of the Government; Separation of Branches. Popular Sovereignty means the ultimate power rests with the people. Checks and Balances means that no one branch of the government can overpower the other branches of government. Each has a check on the power of the other branches. Federalism is the dividing and sharing of power between state and national governments. Limited power means that the government is restricted by the laws and the Constitution and it has to operate within the framework of the laws and Constitution. Separation of Branches divides the government into the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch, each with its own powers and duties.
