I believe this would be referred to as a division of power and a checks and balances system.
There are three branches of the US Federal Government, the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches all with individual duties and powers. These Branches ensure no one has too much power.
Federalism, created in the United States Constitution, is the dividing and sharing of powers between a central (national) government and local (states) government. The Constitution created a government with three branches, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each branch has it own powers but it also has powers in order to check the power of the other two branches and to share powers with the other two branches. Example: the Congress can pass a law, the President can veto or sign the bill into law, and the Supreme Court may declare the law unconstitutional.
Dividing power among the branches is separation of powers. The Founders separated the powers so that no branch could overpower the other one.
Separation of powers as enumerated by the United States Constitution separates federal governance into three distinct branches. These branches are the legislative (Congress), judiciary (Supreme and Federal Courts), and the executive (Presidency and cabinet departments).
