How did Baron de Montesquieu's theories contribute to the American Revolution and Declaration of Independence?

Montesquieu saw despotism, in particular, as a standing danger for any government not already despotic, and argued that it could best be prevented by a system in which different bodies exercised legislative, executive, and judicial power, and in which all those bodies were bound by the rule of law. This theory of the separation of powers had an enormous impact on liberal political theory, and on the framers of the constitution of the United States of America.

Who was the Massachusetts delegate who helped write the Declaration of Independence?
Robert R. Livingston was one of the Committee of Five that the Second Continental put together to write the Declaration of Independence; however he did not contribute anything to its content and he did not sign it either. He did vote for adoption of the final draft on July 4, 1776, but only John Hancock and Charles Thomson, the Secretary of the Convention, signed on that day. The document was prepared for signatures by the other delegates, most of whom signed it on August 2, 1776. The ironic thing about Livingston is he never got to sign it. He was recalled to New York before August 2 and simply wasn't there to sign it even though he was on the Committee to write it.
