In addition to the U.S. federal government, what other national government has three branches, i.e., if any?

Question

The U.S. federal government, is divided into three branches: Legislative, Judicial and Executive.

My question has nothing to do with state or local governments in the U.S., or any place else. I am asking if there is another nation, i.e., a foreign country, that has a federal government structure analogous to the U.S.

Answer 1

Montesquieu, the French political philosopher, articulated the concept of the three equal branches of government.

Various countries have separation of powers to some degree. The wikipedia article summarizes some of the governments with references to more detailed explanations.

Answer 2

The state governments were all sovereign territories until they came together in an agreement, and delegated certain powers to their common agent, the federal government. And, of course, they all have three-tier systems.

There are other countries in the western world that have somewhat similar systems. England, for instance, has an executive, a legislative body, and a court system. However, the difference is that the executive is also a member of the legislature, and can be removed by a no-confidence vote.

Answer 3

The state and national governments has only the three branches of government in USA. Cities and towns only have executive and legislative branches because the courts are under the Supreme Court.

Answer 4
