The Federal Government of the United States is the national state of the United States, a constitutional republic of North America, composed of 50 states, a federal district, Washington D.C. (the national capital) and several territories. It is constituted under the theories of separation of powers, checks and balances. The federal state is divided into three separate, divided and separate branches: legislative, executive and judicial, whose powers are conferred by the Constitution of the United States in Congress, the president and the federal courts, respectively. Each branch has an exclusive sphere of its own competence and powers that allow them to limit the actions of the other two branches. The purpose of this system is to avoid the tyranny that would occur if one branch of public power concentrated too much power and dominated the other two. The powers and duties of these branches are defined in more detail by the minutes of the Congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court.

explanation:

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
