"Some people describe Checks and Balances as a cursory "sharing of powers." While it is certainly true that the executive, legislative, and judicial branches share the duties of government, this only describes half of the concept. Indeed, as this diagram illustrates, the arms of government all serve as watchmen of the other branches. For instance, the Supreme Court can declare laws passed by the legislature "unconstitutional," and Congress can impeach and remove the president from office, given it has the proper number of votes." You can try to short this out.... http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/library/chart-graph/separation-powers-and-checks-and-balances It has a great diagram describing your question

The separation of powers, often imprecisely used interchangeably with the trias politica principle, is a model for the governance of a state. The model was first developed in ancient Greece. Under this model, the state is divided into branches, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches. The typical division of branches is into a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary. It can be contrasted with the fusion of powers in a parliamentary system where the executive and legislature are unified.
