The U.S. Constitution expresses the idea that we, the people of the United States have authority over the government.

Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial branches were separate and kept each other in check so that no branch became too powerful.

The concept of dividing government power into three branches was dubbed "separation of powers" by Montesquieu.

He believed it was critical to establish separate branches of government with equal but distinct powers. In this manner, the government would avoid vesting too much power in a single person or group of people. According to Montesquieu, there are three types of governments: republican governments (which can be democratic or aristocratic), monarchies, and despotisms.

Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial branches were separate and kept each other in check so that no branch became too powerful.
