Checks and balances.
montesquieus
Montesquieu's conception of the separation of powers in "The Spirit of the Laws" primarily involved the division of government into three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. A view that was NOT part of his conception is the idea that these branches should operate in a completely independent and isolated manner without any checks or balances among them. Montesquieu emphasized the importance of a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny and ensure that no single branch could dominate the others.
