The separation of powers helps to prevent an absolutist government, where a ruling group or individual can make and suspend rules as well as decide when they apply and when people have broken them as they please.
An example of this type of government occured in Nazi Germany. The Nazi party had the ability to make whatever laws they chose, and could also control the courts to ensure that the laws were applied (or didn't apply) in whatever way suited them best.
Separation of powers helps ensure that
- laws are passed by a (usually) democratically accountable legislature.
- those laws are applied by a competent and independent judiciary who are not under political pressure from the legislature or executive.
- administrative matters can be dealt with by the executive.
