In a short statement of approximately 50 words explain why the Constitution requires a separation of power among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government and the benefit it provides the nation’s citizens.

Explanation:

The Constitution separates the three branches of power. So they have a checks and balances system. Each branch has specific powers and rights they use to help the people, and they require some type of collaboration from the other branches. They need some type of collaboration from other branches so they cant gain too much power and keep all the branches balanced.
