Montesquieu argued that government power should be divided into separate branches—legislative, executive, and judicial—to prevent any one person or group from becoming tyrannical. He also used comparative and historical analysis in The Spirit of the Laws to show that laws should suit a nation's climate, economy, and customs and that political liberty depends on the rule of law.

His idea of separation of powers strongly influenced the U.S. Constitution and the structure of many modern democracies. Montesquieu's work helped spread Enlightenment ideas about liberty, legal reform, and constitutional limits on rulers around the world.
