Montesquieu’s "The Spirit of the Laws" is a 1748 foundational political treatise advocating for the separation of powers, arguing that liberty is maintained only when legislative, executive, and judicial powers are distinct. His most famous quote is "power should be a check to power" to prevent tyranny. Montesquieu’s work significantly influenced the authors of the U.S. Constitution, particularly regarding the system of checks and balances.
