Answer:
The separation of powers is the mechanism of political and democratic organization by which the government is divided into three fundamental branches that carry out specific tasks. These branches are: executive branch, in charge of administering the country in accordance with the laws; legislative branch, responsible for creating laws; and the judiciary, responsible for judging those who break the laws.
The separation of powers is created as a result of the rise of liberalism, during the era of revolutions, as a way of limiting absolutism and tyranny through internal limits of the government itself. That is, it arose during the 18th century, to limit the power of absolutist monarchies.
