The Founding Fathers, the framers of the Constitution, wanted to form a government that did not allow one person to have too much authority or control. ... A branch may use its powers to check the powers of the other two in order to maintain a balance of power among the three branches of government.

I hope I helped you have a Nice Day ‼️
