We are taught at an early age that there is a separation of powers. Each branch of government will restrain the other from getting too large. Do we really have that? That’s the theory we’re told. There’s no reason why one branch would restrain the other. Each branch assists the other. The separation of powers makes state actions seem legitimate. They rule in favor of themselves. They occasionally rule in favor of the people to keep up appearances.
