Baron de Montesuieu (jan 1, 1689 – jan 1, 1755)
Description:
Montesquieu was a wealthy French lawyer and writer. He wasn't a fan of how France was run, which could be seen in his book Persian Letters. After his passing, a book, The Spirit of the Laws, was published with his ideas of how he believed that kings shouldn't have all the power. Instead, the power should be separated into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.Added to timeline:
