How does the syetem of separation of power supplements the system of checks and balances?

The Madisonian model of Separation of Powers allows the three branches of government to monitor each other and prevents any one of them from becoming too powerful. Our founding fathers didn't want to create a government that would allow one person or group to have too much control, like that of England. There are several ways that the judicial, executive, and legislative branches can check one another's powers, but just one example is the necessity of a majority senate vote to approve presidential appointments to the Supreme Court.
