Baron de Montesquieu is best known for his concept of the separation of powers. In his work "The Spirit of the Laws," he advocated for dividing government into distinct branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This idea significantly influenced the framers of the U.S. Constitution, which incorporates a separation of powers to ensure a system of checks and balances among the different branches of government.
