Checks and balances.
This system gives each branch (legislative, executive, judicial) powers to limit the others (eg, vetoes, congressional oversight and appropriations, judicial review), preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful. The other options are not correct: "executive powers" would increase one branch's power, the "electoral college" is a method of electing the president, and "natural rights" are individual rights, not a structural limit on government branches.
