Spirit of Laws (Volume 1)
by Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu
'Spirit of Laws (Volume 1)' Summary
In his treatise, Montesquieu argues that the best form of government is one that is based on the rule of law and that protects the rights of its citizens. He also advocates for the separation of powers and the checks and balances that prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. Montesquieu's ideas were highly influential in the development of modern constitutional democracies, including the United States Constitution.Book Details
