Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is b) Theory of Division of Powers

Explanation:

In his treatise "The Spirit of Laws," published in 1747, Montesquieu first proposed the notion of separation of powers.

• He believed that the strongest guarantee against tyranny is the separation of powers among the various government departments.
• He argues that each authority should be exercised by a different organ and that a system of checks and balances should be constructed to ensure the state's unity and harmony.

The theory of Popular sovereignty and Social Contract theory were proposed by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

The theory of Democracy was proposed by Cleisthenes.
