I believe that our ancestors who created the three branches of government foresaw that the authority granted to each branch could easily be diminished by another branch, so they instituted this system to prevent handling. Each branch has its own distinct operations, and the crossover of the operations of other branches creates what is known as a “constitutional question.” For this reason, the President, who is the head of the executive branch, cannot enact or pass a law because the function of legislating and passing laws is the authority granted to the legislative branch. Likewise, the United States Supreme Court cannot enforce a law because that is the task entrusted to the executive branch. And finally, the Supreme Court cannot enforce laws or make laws. However, the interaction between the three branches is an impressive system because neither branch can function without the other. A basic example of how the branches work together is the following: the legislature makes the laws that the police enforce, and the judiciary judges the cases that the police initiate through arrest.
