Why did the founding fathers create separate branches of government?

The Founding Fathers created three separate branches of government so that there would be a balance in power.

The three branches are able to use checks and balances to limit each other's power.

One example of a check is that the judicial branch can review laws that the legislative branch makes and can determine them unconstitutional.
