Montesquie (N. DiBiasio)

Montesquieu (N. DiBiasio)
     Hello, people call me Montesquieu but when I was born in January of 1689 my full name was Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brede et de Montesquieu. I am a french social and political thinker who grew up in the Age of Enlightenment. As I was growing up during the major government change between England which had joined forces to create the Kingdom of Great Britain, I was very familiar with the basis of governments. Some people even say that these government changes have had a major influence on my life. After going to college, my father passed in 1713, it was a very dark year for me leaving me with my uncle. My uncle Baron de Montesquieu died three years later leaving me with his office as president of the Bordeaux Parliament. Because of this, I grew interest in studying laws of governments in England. Then in 1721 after publishing my creation of The Persian Letters, I grew fame. But not only did the Persian Letters make me famous but the creation of The Spirit of Laws made me famous. In 1748 after creating The Spirit of Laws, my fame grew entirely, but in the process I grew enemies such as some of France and the Catholic church, which neglected the laws. My beliefs included a government called administrative which consisted of three main types called executive, legislative, and judicial. My beliefs ended up changing the way of society in many countries, especially The United States of America which attached to my beliefs and used them. Overall my life was filled with many opportunities and I choose to make the governments of other countries a better place by believing in 3 divided groups of government which now many countries took into effect, especially the United States.
