The intent of separation of powers is to prevent the concentration of unchecked power and to provide for checks and balances, in which the powers of one branch of government is limited by the powers of another branch-to prevent abuses of power and avoid autocracy.

Answer:

because each has it's own responsibilities and powers and that's why there are checks and balances so not 1 is bigger or i guess u could say more important than the other.
