What power does the constitution give to each branch of the federal government?
The system of checks and balances is a part of our Constitution. It guarantees that no part of the government becomes too powerful. For example, the legislative branch is in charge of making laws. The executive branch can veto the law, thus making it harder for the legislative branch to pass the law. The judicial branch may also say that the law is unconstitutional and thus make sure it is not a law. The legislative branch can also remove a president or judge that is not doing his/her job properly. The executive branch appoints judges and the legislative branch approves the choice of the executive branch. Again, the branches check and balance each other so that no one branch has too much power.

A system in which no one government branch has too much?
I would say that it is one with a system of checks and balances, so that each branch can check (or review and potentially limit) the power of another branch, and the branches of government thereby balance each other. For example, under the U. S. Constitution, the Judicial branch has the power and authority to review a law passed by the Legislative branch as to whether the law comports with the U. S. Constitution and, if not, declare it to be unconstitutional. The Legislative branch, in turn, has the power to then pass another law to replace the one earlier ruled unconstitutional. Also, the Legislative branch has to approve (or not) the appointment of a federal judge and to impeach and remove a federal judge once appointed who engages in unlawful behavior. Another example is that the Executive branch is empowered to implement and enforce laws, but the Legislative branch has to pass a budget to give the Executive branch the money to operate, thereby acting as a check on the Executive branch.

Does the US Constitution give the Executive Branch the most power of all three branches of government?
No, the US Constitution has a system of checks and balances that give the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch equal powers. Example: The legislative branch can pass a law, but the executive branch can veto it, while the legislative branch can veto that veto with a 2/3 vote, causing the law to be passed. After the law is passed, the judicial branch can deem the law unconstitutional, and the law is nullified.
