What is the importance of Montesquieu's idea of checks and balances?

History
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
8 0

For Montesquieu, despotism was one of the worst threats for a government. He pointed separation of powers as the best way to prevent it, in which legislative, executive and judicial power was excercised by different bodies of government, and these bodies were ruled by supreme law.

The system of checks and balances is very important for the U.S. government, since it was developed to assure that neither of the government's branches would empower too much. The writers of the U.S. Constitution developed a system that divides power between legislative, executive and judicial, and incorporates several limits and controls on the powers of every branch.

On the east side of a town, there are multiple fast-food restaurants. On the west side of town, there is only one fast-food rest
Deffense [45]

Answer:

There is a lack of competition on the west side of town, so the one restaurant does not need to consider the prices at other restaurants.

Explanation:

When there are multiple businesses selling a similar product, each will compete against the others to try and sell their product to consumers instead of the other businesses selling their products first. Due to this competition, the producers will list the prices based on the prices at the other businesses. Consumers are more likely to purchase cheaper products, which is why the producers will try to list their prices lower than the other producers in hopes of gaining more customers and profit.

If there is only one business in a location that has no competitors, they will list the prices on their own accord, not based on the prices at other businesses.

Because the west side only has one restaurant, their prices will likely be higher than those at other restaurants located elsewhere because the west side restaurant has no competition.
