Answer: To provide checks and balances of power in the government, to prevent any one branch of government from taking over too much power.

Context/detail:

The "Separation of Powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu.  (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.")  He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws,</em> published in 1748.

Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.

Witch of the following was not a motive for imperialism in the nineteenth century? To expand the territory of western nations.
RSB [31]
To offer medical assistance to Third World countries.

The imperialism movement of the 19th century did not show particular concern for the native peoples in the regions they came to control through imperialistic means.  There were medical missions and religious missions that accompanied the imperialistic advance into other countries, but those were factors that accompanied the imperialistic advance more than they motivated it.  
Also, as a false component of that option, the term "Third World" didn't come into existence until the era of the Cold War.  The "Third World" referred to the developing nations that did not align with either of the superpowers, the USA or the USSR.   No one was using the term "Third World" in the 19th century.
