Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu was born in 1689. He was an aristocrat from South-West France, and although he had a high position in society, he was critical of the government nonetheless. Montesquieu is most known for his systematic classification of governments. He assigned different principles for the operation of each.
This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power. This United States form of separation of powers is associated with a system of checks and balances. During the Age of Enlightenment, philosophers such as Montesquieu advocated the principle in their writings, whereas others, such as Thomas Hobbes, strongly opposed it.
