federalism
Montesquieu fully articulated separation of power, an idea John Locke also advocated. Montesquieuâ??s description of the two types of free governments also reflects Lockeâ??s ideas of a social contract.
Montesquieu's most lasting political thought is his idea of the separation of powers, which suggests the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to prevent any one group from having too much power. This concept has had a significant influence on the structure of modern democratic governments around the world.

Montesquieu believed in the separation of powers, where the government is divided into three branches - legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch should have separate powers and responsibilities to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This system would help ensure a balance of power and protect against tyranny.
