This excerpt from the Constitution demonstrates the principle of separation of powers by clearly identifying that the power to make laws is vested solely in the legislative branch, which is the Congress. This shows the division of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and how the legislative branch is separate and distinct from the other branches.
