Branches of Power Game

Why Did James Madison Create A 3 Branch Government?
It’s called “The Separation of Powers”
You “gotta keep’em separated” so one branch won’t gain too much power.
Each branch has its own powers or duties to make government function.
How Does Separation of Powers Work?
It’s a system of CHECKS and BALANCES. One branch can “check”, or stop, the other
from gaining power.
Ex: Legislative Branch makes Bills (future laws) but the Executive Branch executes (carries out) law by signing OR vetoing it (rejecting it)
