Answer 2

"Balance of Power

Montesquieu believed that power in a government should be equally divided and distributed between a number of departments.

He believed that balancing the power between such departments will ensure that one does not misuse it and that each department will ensure that the others are functioning properly.

He felt that the division of power in England among the King, the Parliament and the Judiciary is a good model for the best government.
