Help students unpack one of the Constitution’s most enduring principles: the separation of powers. This engaging lesson guides learners through the structure of the United States government, exploring how power is divided among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches—and why that matters. Through historical context, guided discussions, and interactive visuals, students gain a clearer understanding of how checks and balances protect against the concentration of power.
