Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers were separate and kept each other in check to prevent any branch from becoming too powerful. He believed that uniting these powers, as in the monarchy of Louis XIV, would lead to despotism.
James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a prolific American writer who spent most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, near a lake surrounded by the Iroquois of the Six Nations. Cooper crafted a unique form of literature writing historical romances about frontier and indian life. He joined the U.S. Navy after being expelled from Yale after a prank in which he blew up a student's door. He wrote historical novels known as The Leatherstocking Tales.
