The theory of separation of powers was cited by the writers of the U.S. Constitution as the basis for their decision to divide the government into separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Considered by many as the most lasting contribution to modern government, this theory was born in the mind and works of Montesquieu. Using an abundance of primary source images and sidebars, this fascinating book details the life and times of a significant theorist.
