Talk:Separation of powers

Description isn't entirely accurate

I think the opening sentence needs to be changed to something like:

Separation of powers is a constitutional principle of United States government that provides a system of checks and balances and prevents one branch of government from exercising powers belonging to another branch of government or abusing its own powers.
