The Constitution contains an intricate system of checks and balances in which each branch has not only different responsibilities but each officer of the legislative, executive and judicial branches has different terms of office and differing selection methods. In this way they check each other. Congress makes law and controls the money, the President executes the law and the Supreme Ct. interprets the law. The history of separation of power dates back to Greece and Rome. See the related links for detailed history and an explanation of each branch.

No, this is not true. "Checks and balances" is referring to three separate but equal powers that keep each other from becoming too powerful or from oversteping their boundries. With only one branch of government there would be no one to control it. Three branches keep each other in check and keep the power balanced.
