Baron De Montesquieu (jan 1, 1689 – jan 1, 1755)

Description:

Baron De Montesquieu had created a book known as "Persian Letters" in 1722, which was about Persian men traveling to other places such as France. The men had noticed many flaws compared to their own government and Montesquieu had used this plot to poke fun at everything the governments were doing wrong. Later, someone put his ideas into a book titled "Spirit of the Laws", which contained Montesquieu's ideas about the government and the main idea was to split up the power into the Executive Government, Parliament, and Judiciary. The executive had the power to put law into action, Parliament the power to create and change laws, and the Judiciary can make judgements on the laws that were created to decide if they are fair or not.
