James Madison, at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, proposed the plan to divide the federal government into branches... Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
The source of his plan?
Isaiah 33:22 --
For the LORD is our judge, [Judicial]
the LORD is our lawgiver, [Legislative]
the LORD is our king; [Executive]
He will save us.
By the way, Madison was our fourth President and is known as the "Father of the Constitution."
