From the Paper:

"Our forefathers wanted to ensure that if one specific branch of government overstepped its bounds or was not operating properly that it wouldn't be able to execute its plans without the agreement of the other two branches of government. These branches were a stark difference from the all-powering rule the people had experienced under the rule of Great Britain. The government the U.S. had established was of the people, by the people and for the people and not an inherited title down an immensely long line of royal lineage."
