NovaNet!three branches.
They created the Separation of Powers (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches) to ensure that no one got too much power.
The branches are government are set up to make sure that the government does not abuse it's power. Each branch of the government is set up so that they "check" each branch. Each branch is given certain powers, and they all work together to create and enforce laws. The founders of the Constitution wanted to make sure that a dictatorship did not emerge in the U.S., so they created the branches of government to ensure that one branch did not take complete control of the country.
The founders decided that checks and balances on three branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial) would assure that no one branch of government gained supremacy over another.
The founding fathers provided for a separation of powers by making three branches of govt. that could check and balance each other.
The Constitution does put a limit on the powers of the government, and thus it could be argued that the Founders intended the government to remain very limited. However, it can also be argued that the Founders did not foresee the technological advancements that we have made in our modern age, and thus a change in the age requires a change in how we govern.
Dividing power among the branches is separation of powers. The Founders separated the powers so that no branch could overpower the other one.
The main branches of government are:Legislative branch,executive branch,and Judicial branch.
The Founders of the U.S.A. intentionally created a Constitution and, more generally, a government, that could be adapted for the future especially through the amendment process: new discoveries and changing circumstances can make an impact on government by newly adopted constitutional amendments. Further, the three primary branches of the government, individually or working together, can foment change through processes laid down by the Founders.
