When the writers of the Constitution were initially deciding what powers and responsibilities the executive branchâheaded by the presidentâwould have, they were heavily influenced by their experience with the British government under King George III.
The separation of powers provides a system of shared power known as Checks and Balances. Three branches are created in the Constitution. The Legislative, composed of the House and Senate, is set up in Article 1. The Executive, composed of the President, Vice-President, and the Departments, is set up in Article 2. The Judicial, composed of the federal courts and the Supreme Court, is set up in Article 3. Each of these branches has certain powers, and each of these powers is limited, or checked, by another branch.
