Constitutions usually explicitly divide power between various branches of government. The standard model for national constitutions, described by Baron de Montesquieu, involves three branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial. Some constitutions include additional branches, such as an auditory branch. Constitutions vary extensively as to the degree of separation of powers between these branches.

| - The hard-won power of the English Parliament to control the excesses of the Throne was for the Founding Fathers a valuable heritage. As structured by the Constitution, political power and function in the federal government is separated among three distinct and mutually dependent branches — the legislature, the executive branch, and the courts. Moreover, a set of institutional and procedural checks was created to make it difficult for one branch to act rashly or independently of the other two branches. The power balance in the U.S. Government has shifted many times, sometimes by a President’s initiative, at other times by Congress' reassertion of its powers or duties, at yet other times by the intervention of the courts. War and technological change have been two dramatic factors in changing the locus of power between the President and Congress. Both have tended to pose threats to public safety that required swift, decisive action based on expert knowledge, and thus to shift responsibility toward the Executive rather than the more deliberative Legislative branch of Government. War has been the greatest promoter of presidential power, but until World War II, this was usually temporary. More recently, the power, the range, and the speed of modern weapons have favored a continued shift in power toward the Presidency. As technological advances give rise to constitutional challenges, moreover, the powers exerted by the Supreme Court are likely to increase. Never before in our history have so many aspects of daily life been subject to litigation, both over the respective powers of the President and Congress and over the relationship of government to the individual. It is a unique feature of American democracy to rely so extensively on courts to monitor the authority of elected branches of government. Exercise of this power will likely ebb and flow as it has in the past, but it is nonetheless certain that technological change will place new and continuing demands on the courts to interpret the fundamental charter of American government.

- Separation of powers in the US Constitution is a method for providing checks and balances between the different branches of the Federal Government:
* The Legislative Branch, where the House of Representatives and the Senate have distinct powers and are apportioned quite differently to balance the power of large and small states
* The Administrative Branch, including powers of the President and Vice President
* The Judicial Branch, including the Supreme Court. In this design it is intended that each branch shall act as a check on the powers of the other branches and a balance to them. Thus only Congress has the power to pass bills into law; only the President can veto a bill; and only the Supreme Court has the power (not explicit in the Constitution, but generally accepted) to declare laws and administrative actions Unconstitutional, and therefore null and void. The Constitution also provides for checks and balances between State and Federal power. Later amendments to the Constitution modified the checks and balances against abuses of power by the States, applying Federal civil rights standards to them. The ultimate protection against usurpation in any branch of government is public opinion. The people have the right in any election to "throw the rascals out", or to call for impeachment of the Vice President, the President, and various Cabinet members, as we are doing. The people also have the ability to vote in tyrants and approve of their tyrannies, right up to the point at which they give away their voting power and have no further say in the matter.
