Division of government into branches such that legislative, executive, and judicial functions are exercised by distinct, separately constituted political bodies
Separation of powers is the division of a state's government into branches, each with separate, independent powers and responsibilities, so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with others. The typical division into three branches of government, sometimes called the ' model, includes a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary. Wikipedia
