Uhhh couple of y’all are using the phrase “separate but equal” way out of context.

That was the key phrase for Plessy v. Ferguson aka the basis for the formal establishment of segregation in the US.

“Separation of powers” and “checks and balances” are the guiding principles for our 3 branches.

Oy, of course you're right 😅

"Coequal" I think was the term I remember learning.
