The leaders of each state gathered in 1787 to write the U.S., Constitution.

Through the concept of separation of power, the U.S. Constitution ensures none of the branches is more powerful than the others (Harper, 04). The intention was to ensure the three arms coexist in harmony and hold check and balances over each other (Harper, 05).…
