Sample Translation Politics

Source (English)	Target (Spanish)
The United States Constitution divides the government into three separate and distinct branches: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.	La constitución de los Estados Unidos divide el gobierno en tres poderes separados y distintos: el poder Ejecutivo, el poder Legislativo, y el poder Judicial.
The concept of separate branches with distinct powers is known as separation of powers.	El concepto de tener ramas separadas con poderes distintos es conocido como la separación de poderes.
That doctrine arose from the writings of several European philosophers.	Esa doctrina surgió de las escrituras de varios filósofos europeos.
Englishman John Locke first pioneered the idea, but he only suggested a separation between the executive and legislative.	El Inglés John Locke era el primero en desarrollar esa idea pero sólo recomendaba una separación entre el poder ejecutivo y el poder legislativo.
The Frenchman Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, added the judicial branch.	El Francés Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, añadió el poder judicial.
Each branch is theoretically equal to each of the others.	Cada rama es teoréticamente igual a cada uno de los otros.
The branches check each other's powers and use a system known as checks and balances.	Las ramas controlan el poder de las otras y usan un sistema conocido como chequeos y balances.
Thus, no branch can gain too much power and influence, thus reducing the opportunity for a tyrannical government.	Por consiguiente, ningún poder puede ganar demasiado poder e influencia, así se reduce la oportunidad para un gobierno tiránico.
In the introduction, there is a Preamble.	En la introducción, hay un Preámbulo.
The Preamble is as stated: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America".	El Preámbulo dice lo siguiente: "Nosotros el pueblo de los Estados Unidos, para formar una unión más perfecta, establecer justicia, garantizar la tranquilidad doméstica, contemplar la defensa en común, promover el bienestar general, y asegurar las bendiciones de la libertad para nosotros y para nuestra posteridad, decretamos y fundamos esta constitución para los Estados Unidos de América.
