The U.S. government is divided into three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial, that rule under the law and oversee, check and limit the actions of each other in order to prevent corruption or abuses of power. This organization reflect the ideas that Baron de Montesquieu developed on his work of a treatise on political theory, called The Spirit of the Laws (1748), in which he came up with the idea of the separation of powers of the government into those three branches and what we called now the Checks and Balances system.
