At that time powerful monarchs ruled most countries. They accepted very little input from advisors and virtually none from citizens.

ok so my question is how it was divided
The administrative powers were the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. These should be separate from and dependent upon each other so that the influence of any one power would not be able to exceed that of the other two, either singly or in combination.
i think that was the only one that really captured the idea

Montesquieu's most influential work divided French society into three classes (or trias politica, a term he coined): the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the commons.
