Read on Literal
In "The Spirit of the Laws" by Montesquieu, the author explores the principles of governance and the separation of powers in a just society. Montesquieu astutely observes, "When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person or body, there can be no liberty." This influential work laid the foundation for modern political theory, advocating for the importance of checks and balances to protect individual freedoms and maintain a stable government.
