There is no concrete "divsion" which established the three branches of government (legislative, executive, judicial). It was just a decision. The model is based largely on the political theory/analysis of Baron de Montesquieu, but it was really just an abritrary invention. It could have just as easily been divided into one branch, or two branches, or ten, or one hundred. Or, the three branches could have have been divided differently: Church, State, and Business; Land, Sea, and Air; Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral; Rock, Paper, Scissors. When a group seizes power by force, they're pretty much free to formulate it anyway they want. There is no natural division of government power.

Why is is the US government set up in 3 branches?

(THIS IS BASED PRIMARILY IN THE US FOUNDING FATHERS FORM OF GOVERNMENT) Basicly, government was divided in order to create a form of government that doesn't work very well. The division was based on three key assumptions: 1) Government must exist; 2) People will manipulate government for their own advantage; 3) Government can really screw people over. So the three branches were devised so all the interest groups in the country would waste all their time and energy trying to pass laws that would make them richer, and stopping/repealing laws that would make they poorer. The hope was to have them all fight to a standstill so nothing would get done (except in the cases of things like an invasion where there would be overwhelming agreement).
