Montesquieu's most lasting contribution to government was the idea of separation of powers. Montesquieu was a French political philosopher.
One of Montesquieu key ideas about government was the separate branches of government :)
Montesquieu was a political philosopher who had the idea to take government power & divide it up amongst "departments" (branches) of the government.
Montesquieu supplied the idea of the separation of powers. The idea of the separation of powers has been used in the organization of states across the world.
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.
Baron De Montesquieu is the source of the idea of separate branches of government.
John Locke influenced the constitution by a lot of hid ideas. They (his ideas) were widely accepted by the founding fathers. He influenced our Bill of Rights because he said the government should protect your rights. The electing our president and other officials was his idea of consent of the governed. He also had the idea for limited government which was how our government started out.

It was Montesquieu's idea to separate the government into three branches: a legislative branch to make laws, an executive branch to enforce the laws, and a judicial branch to make judgments based on the laws. This was called the separation of powers. (Which is the type of government the US uses.)
