Who is the Separation of Powers poster for?

When should you use the Separation of Powers poster?
Legislature makes law, executive applies it, judiciary interprets it. Concentrating them is the danger. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Separation of Powers belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
