(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).
