Hello, I am Montesquieu. I was born with the name Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu on January 18, 1969. I am a French political thinker who lived during the Age of Enlightenment. My ideas for a government were known to be very unique and different as I strongly believed in the separation of powers. This means the state is split into branches that were all independent and each responsible for their actions in government. Today, we have the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, which are perfect examples of my idea. All of these branches were responsible for checks and balances, regulating the decisions of the other branches. This shows how the power was divided between the three branches. It kept one branch from becoming more powerful than the others. Equality was one of the main goals in this. Overall, this idea seems to be a smartly carved out system that is working well in the United States of America to this day.

ReplyDeleteI am John Locke an English philosopher and I was one of the enlightened thinkers. I was born on August 29, 1632 in Wrington, England.My father was a lawyer and a clergy. he also served his time as a captain in the English civil war. I studied at Oxford, which is one of the best educations a kid could get in England. I did most of my studying on medicine. I spent some of my time traveling throughout France and the Netherlands. I am a man of which i have my own beliefs. All my beliefs help all the people not just the powerful people or the good people. I believe that all people are initially born good until they do something bad. Also everyone is born with certain unalienable rights. I also believe that we the people have the right to overthrow the Government if they are not making the right decisions, or using their absolute power. I truly believe in everyone of theses beliefs and i will argue for the people, with the people.
