Answer 1

The part of our democracy that demonstrates Montesquieu's ideal of separation of powers is **the three branches of government**. This structure divides government responsibilities into distinct branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial, ensuring that no single branch has absolute power and that each can check and balance the others.
