The separation of powers was the idea of enlightenment philosopher Baron de Montesquieu. His idea suggested the government be separated into three branches and each of those branches should have powers over one another to prevent one branch from becoming too powerful. This same concept is what we use today with the Executive, Legislative, and Executive branches. This is because Benjamin Franklin adopted the idea for America. So, basically, the idea influenced today's government.
