Separation of powers


            
             The best known characteristic of the presidential system is the separation of powers. Three separate branches share the powers of the United States government. Each branch has both expressed powers, those specifically listed in the Constitution, and implied powers, those reasonably suggested by its expressed powers. In general, the legislative branch makes the nation's laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch interprets the laws if questions arise. A system of checks and balances makes sure that each branch acts only within its constitutional limits. Each branch has some powers that curb, or check, those of the other two. This prevents any single government group or official from becoming too powerful. The Congress should not revisit the issue of separation of powers because it stops absolute power, it stops one agency from having absolute power, also state government vs. federalists because state level has its own laws and federal has its own laws and they can enforce; moreover, it would make the government weak, because they couldn't be very throw.
             The separation of powers helps stop one person from having all the power. It won't be fair for the people to have one ruler and to have one person make all the laws and run the country. The purpose of separating the powers is to prevent any single branch of government from becoming too powerful. Moreover, separation of powers helps the government and the people to give their opinion and also to help them out make the right decisions. The laws are approved by the powers and everyone has to agree to pass the law. Consequently, in some cases people have their say. Congress shouldn't revisit the issue of separation of powers because everything is fine just the way it is. It's good that we have the branches going over the laws and making sure that everyone agrees on it before it actually passes. If there wasn't separation of powers if Congress revisited the issue, then we would have a big problem because there would be one person ruling the country.
