The three branches of the US government:The legislative branch, which passes laws.The executive branch, which carries out the laws.The judicial branch, which settles disputes about the laws.
Montesquieu's idea for a separation of powers was called tripartite. He called for a separation of government power with a legislative, executive and judicial tripartite. This was done to assure a political entity such as a monarch could not exist.
He believed that if all three powers were combined the government would be too corrupt, therefore he believed that the executive body should be in the hands of a single person, the legislative in the hands of a group of people (less corruption) and the judiciary should be controlled by judges.
