The U.S. Constitution created three branches of government, namely:
1. Legislative Branch to make laws.
2. Executive Branch to enforce the laws, and
3. Judicial Branch to interpret the laws.
Each of these branches have their own separate power and it is necessary to ensure that their powers don't clash with each other.
Doctrine of Separation of Powers is a political doctrine used to keep a check on the powers of the three branches of the government. It ensures through its checks and balances that there is no concentration of power in any one of the branches of the government.
The three branches of the government have been properly portrayed in the U.S. Constitution. Articles I, II, and II provide the rights and functions of these branches.
Article I- This article establishes the legislative branch of the federal government. The legislature consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Its main function is to make laws.
Article II - This article establishes the executive branch of the federal government. The executive consists of the President and the administrative agencies. Its primary function is to enforce laws.
Article III - This article establishes the judicial branch of the federal government. The judiciary comprises of the Supreme court and all the other courts of the country. Its main function is to interpret and apply the laws. The judiciary is also responsible for ensuring that all the laws passed by the government are in accordance to the Constitution.
