Separation of Powers
constitution
Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative branch. The word coequal does not appear in the U.S. Constitution.
It's called the separation of powers.
A constitution is a plan that provides the rules for a government. Thus, the people living under that plan know how the government is organized, the powers and duties of the government, and the rights and responsibilities of the citizens. The Constitution of the United States establishes recognized limits on the powers of the national government. This is known as limited government. Our Constitution also establishes a representative government. That means that the citizens have the right to elect members to the national government who will handle the day to day affairs of the government. But, those representatives are always responsible to the citizens. The power of the government is shared by the state and federal governments. This is known as federalism. Also, the Constitution establishes three branches of government to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This is called the separation of powers. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution once it was ratified. These first ten amendments to the US Constitution contain a list of individual rights and liberties which the government cannot take away from the citizens. MrV There is also an element of our Constitution that was radically different at the time of its establishment. All authority to create, enact and amend our Constitution belongs to the People. A very fundamental reason that no government under the Constitution can take anything from the people that they don't freely cede is that the people alone have authority over the Constitution... Not Congress, not the President, and not the Supreme Court.
Our forefathers set up the Checks and Balances system. The three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Not one of them has more power than the other. It takes two of them to agree to overturn a decision. Even the President can not change a vote or an outcome of one of the other branches without approval of another branch.
The main topics of the U.S. Constitution, such as those which describe the branches of government are called the ARTICLES of the Constitution.

No. The Bill of Rights is part of the US Constitution that spells out the individual rights and protections of US citizens. The part of the US Constitution that describes how the Federal Government "operates" and describes the 3 branches of the Federal Government is contained in the part of the Constitution called the "Articles".

They are undefined because the structure and system of their power isn't clearly laid out in the Constitution. The Constitution clearly defines the Presidency, the Congress, and the Judicial system for the federal government. However, those that support the three branches aren't spelled out; this has allowed the three branches to delegate their authority to these groups (whether for good or ill) in order to efficiently improve the functions of government.
The Constitution Of The United States
The first three articles of the Constitution lay out how the government is to be organized. Each article deals with the setup of one of the branches of government.
Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative branch. The word coequal does not appear in the U.S. Constitution.
Canada has three branches of government: Executive, Legislative & Judicial.
the way that branches check each other is called the checks and ballances system.
The branches of government are called branches due to the way the flow of power is generally diagrammed. We, the people, the the source or root of the power and we empower the government in three main ways. Those are the branches.
