Powers were to be distributed among numerous smaller groups as articulated in Federalist No. 51. The executive branch was given veto power to stop any judicial decision thought to hurt the people. The legislative branch was separated into cabinet departments to limit the enforcement of laws. The judicial branch was granted the power of judicial review, which elevated the judiciary to equal standing.

The judicial branch was granted the power of judicial review

Explanation:

What elevated the judiciary to equal standing is that "The judicial branch was granted the power of judicial review."

This is evident in the case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803, where the Supreme Court affirmed the Supreme Court's right to carry out a judicial review which can overrule any government activity including executive, judicial or legislative if such activity is seen or interpreted to be unconstitutional.
