Answer:

The power of the first (legislative) is to create laws and to change those that have already been created.

The power of the second (executive) is to maintain public security (protect the people) by enforcing (carrying out) the laws.

The power of the third (judicial) is to punish criminals and solve the disputes (arguments) that arise between individuals.
