Montesquieu believed that all things were made up of rules or laws that never changed. He set out to study these laws scientifically with the hope that knowledge of the laws of government would reduce the problems of society and improve human life.

Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu wrote specifically about the need for governments to have a separation of its executive, legislative and judicial powers in his book "The Spirit of the Laws."
Montesquieu wrote in secret primarily due to the political climate of his time, characterized by censorship and the repression of dissenting views. He sought to express his ideas on government and society freely, without fear of persecution or backlash from authorities. By writing anonymously or under pseudonyms, he could protect himself while critiquing the absolute monarchy and advocating for the principles of liberty and separation of powers. This approach allowed him to reach a wider audience and influence Enlightenment thought without jeopardizing his safety.
