The purpose of the separation of powers is to prevent any branch of government from becoming too powerful or dominating the government. It ensures a system of checks and balances where each branch has its own distinct powers and responsibilities, providing a safeguard against abuses of power. This system promotes accountability and prevents the concentration of power in the hands of a few, protecting the rights and liberties of citizens.
