Detailed explanation-1: -Montesquieu, in full Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, (born January 18, 1689, Château La Brède, near Bordeaux, France-died February 10, 1755, Paris), French political philosopher whose principal work, The Spirit of Laws, was a major contribution to political theory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers were separate and kept each other in check to prevent any branch from becoming too powerful. He believed that uniting these powers, as in the monarchy of Louis XIV, would lead to despotism.
Detailed explanation-3: –Montesquieu’s writings sparked the French Revolution by instilling a desire for liberty.-Before the French Revolution, Montesquieu existed. He was a nobleman who acted as a member of a local French legislature to shield citizens from the French King’s abuses.
