Context
The framers of the Constitution designed this structure in 1787 to prevent tyranny by distributing authority. Article I establishes Congress to make laws, Article II creates the presidency to enforce laws, and Article III forms the court system to interpret laws. Each branch has powers that check the others, ensuring balance.
