Detailed explanation-1: -In The Spirit of the Laws, Montesquieu proposed a division of power within the government between the legislative, the executive and the judiciary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Montesquieu argues that the executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government (the so-called tripartite system) should be assigned to different bodies, so that attempts by one branch of government to infringe on political liberty might be restrained by the other branches (checks and balances).

Doing so balances the distribution of power in a governing body, thereby preventing tyrannical rule (in theory).
