Answer:

Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powers—the national government and state governments—thereby restraining the influence of both. Separation of powers imposes internal limits by dividing government against itself, giving different branches separate functions and forcing them to share power.

The United States Government is divided into Three Branches which are the:

  • Judiciary
  • Legislative
  • Executive

These branches have different powers that ensure that one branch is unable to exert too much power. Some examples of that include:

  • Appointment of Federal Judges - The President (Executive) has the power to nominate a Federal Judge but they cannot appoint them. Only the Senate (Legislative) can do so after vetting them.

  • Passage of Laws - Congress (Legislative) can pass laws but these laws have to be Constitutional. If they aren't, the Supreme Court (Judiciary) can strike the law down.

  • Issues of War - The President is the Commander In-Chief of the American army. The President cannot however, go to war without the approval of Congress which have the power and duty to approve war and army funding.

In conclusion, separating power amongst the different branches of the American government ensures that the U.S. government does not become so powerful that it would hurt its citizens.
