Montesquieu is describing the "Separation Of Powers" which is important because it states that government should be split up into 3 branches the Legislative(which is Congress),The Executive(the President), and the Judicial(the Supreme Court).

Thomas Jefferson was 33 years old when he was tasked to write the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress in 1776, rendering entire generations of Americans slackers by comparison ever since. Jefferson at 33 boldly captured the will of a people frustrated with their absentee king and declared the equality of all men to be a truth powerful enough to abolish an unjust system of government; the rest of us are mostly trying to figure out how to set up our ETrade accounts.
Populist Party is a political party that was created in the late 1800s by American farmers. The principal goals of the party were: direct election of senators, government ownership of rail roads, telephone, telegraph, etc, and graduated income tax.

corruption in voting, silencing of public opinions, isolation of voters, denial of unionization and large number of poor people in comparison to the rich.<span />
