How does the separation of powers keep government from becoming too powerful?

It takes the power of the federal government and divides it among the three branches:

Legislative

Executive

Judicial

It depends on how equal the cuts would be, if it’s equally divided maybe it would work. However, equality doesn’t mean equity because there are times that a President should really look on the matters that the people needed. In budgeting, we should list down our top to the least priorities and from there we can set where our taxes (money) will go. Thinking not just for the majority of the population but for keeping ALL the people in mind can help the President be re-elected.
