Briefly explain the roles of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches and how the power of the government is separated among them.

Each branch serves a specific function in the government : Legislative - makes laws, Executive - enforces the laws, Judicial - intepret the laws. Each is separated and performed its function according to the US Constitution. There is a Check and Balance function built-in so each branch does not act over-power over the other branch. They are shared equal power and help keeps the US from being an anarchy state.
