Bonjour, je m'appelle le Baron de Montesquieu, or simply Montesquieu for short. I am a political thinker and philosophe from the Age of Enlightenment. I believe greatly in the separation of powers within the government. My book, The Spirit of the Laws, greatly emphasized the three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial, checks and balances, and explained how these ideas, if put into effect, would greatly improve the government and protect the liberty of the people of France.
