How does the constitution distribute power?

The Constitution distributes power amongst the three branches of the Federal Government as well as outlines the federal structure of the government which gives power to states as well. The three branches of the Federal Government are the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive. The executive branch is made up of the President and his administration and the associated bureaucracies, the legislative consists of Congress, and the Judiciary consists of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. This delineation of power is often referred to as the system of checks and balances that seeks to create balance and oversight in the creation of the government so no one institution becomes too powerful.
