Separation Of Powers
The separation of powers is the practice we use in the US national government to divide the national government's powers between the three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) so that the national government cannot abuse its powers. Each branch has certain powers and is able to "check" the other branches' powers to keep the three branches equal or "balanced". This system is known as the system of checks and balances and it is used to guarantee the separation of powers.
The delegates at the Constitutional Convention applied Montesquieu's philosophy by creating a system of government with separate branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—each with its own powers and responsibilities. This separation of powers was intended to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful and to ensure a system of checks and balances.
