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

History

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.

<h3>What was the transatlantic trade?</h3>

The transatlantic trade was an inhumane commercial and wealth-generating activity for many people and countries and lasted for centuries.

The transatlantic trade was also dehumanizing because of the warped purposes that those who engaged in it had.  Their intent was self-enrichment, as the interests of the enslaved persons were not considered.

Thus, the transatlantic trade enriched people, but it was difficult to end and unconscionable.
