The feature of government does Montesquieu argue for in hisThe Spirit of Laws was its advocacy for political liberty through separation of powers. Montesquieu claimed that the executive power, which is in charge with enforcing laws, legislative which make laws, and judicial in charge with interpreting laws should be divided between three separate branches of government. This system of the separation of powers, he argued, assured that no one branch of government could overpower another, giving way to the well known checks and balances. Because each branch has its own powers and functions, each branch is therefore limited in its power and can check, or monitor, the other branches.

Montesquieu pointed out that the best political system relied on the unique social and political condition of that country.

horrorfan [7]
The second World War greatly reshaped ideas about national identity in America, especially for first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants, and African-Americans.  During the war - and in the midst of the war effort - immigrants and African-Americans were welcomed into the armed services and, also, in areas of production where support was needed.  Many Americans, during this time, were able to somewhat relax or surrender their prejudices.  Also, for immigrants and African-Americans, they often felt they were part of American industry and service for the first time.

contrast the methods used by renaissance scientists and by the church to arrive at "truth" in general.
rjkz [21]

Answer: The Renaissance, that is, the period that extends roughly from the middle of the fourteenth century to the beginning of the seventeen century, was a time of intense, all-encompassing, and, in many ways, distinctive philosophical activity. A fundamental assumption of the Renaissance movement was that the remains of classical antiquity constituted an invaluable source of excellence to which debased and decadent modern times could turn in order to repair the damage brought about since the fall of the Roman Empire.
