Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu (18 January 1689 – 10 February 1755), was commonly known as Montesquieu. He was a French political thinker who lived during the Age Of Enlightenment. He is famous for his theory of the separation of powers in government..

Montesquieu wrote that French society was divided into the 'trias politica': the monarchy, the aristocracy and the commons. He stated that two types of government existed: the sovereign and the administrative. He believed that the administrative powers were divided into the executive, the judicial and the legislative.

A river system is a number of rivers which consists of one main river, which drains into a lake or into the ocean, with all its tributaries.
