Answer:

Baron de Montesquieu (1689 – 1755) was a French judge and philosopher, famous for his theory of separation of powers and his implementation of the despotism in the political world.

In 1748, he wrote and anonymously published <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, a treatise on political theory, which influenced the Founding Fathers in the United States Constitution.

Explanation:

Early American society accepted his idea of the separation of powers in drafting the Constitution.  

Montesquieu based his views on the idea of separating authority into the tree branches: executive, legislative and judicial, which were included in the Constitution to establish laws and duties and to include the provisions to preserve individual liberties.

The united states is a good example of a country using direct democracy. true or false
lara31 [8.8K]
This is both true and false the United States is a federal constitutional presidential republic. It is a joining of fifty smaller subject republic's known as states, they and the federal government imitate the Roman res publica style of government which is a further advancement of the Greek style. However the United States elects everyone in a similar manner by direct popular vote. This is the case with Governors, Representatives and Senators for the State legislatures and the United States Congress. The president is elected in a combination of the two. The populous votes for the person who they want to be president. After each state tallies its majority vote that States electoral college votes go to the winner of the majority in that state. It is very rare that a president wins both the electoral college and the popular votes. The electoral college decides the next president not the popular despite both being integrally connected to each other. This system ensures that States with a larger population cannot control the executive branch of the United States.
