Montesquieu (J. Bernard-Sasges)
Bonjour. Je m'appelle is Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, or Montesquieu for short. I am an 18th century philosopher and am recognized for my work in philosophy during the enlightenment period en France. I am known for my views towards government being, comment dites-vous, unique. I believe in a government split into equally powerful branches, allowing for equal power to all. These could be branches like an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch for example. These separate braches serve as checks and balances and can each check and/or balance the decisions of the others. This is crucial in a good government, as it doesn't allow for any one branch in government to gain too much power. Maybe one day this policy will be adapted by a government somewhere. All I know is that when it is, that government will be the most equal the world has ever known. C'est tout pour ce moment, à la prochaine!
