Why did Montesquieu advocate the Theory of Sepaeration of powers? What does the theory imply? 


Montesquieu called the idea of dividing government power into three branches the 'separation of powers.' He thought it most important to create separate branches of government with equal but different powers. That way, the government would avoid placing too much power with one individual or group of individuals. The three powers should be used by three separate organs of the government. It is essential for safeguarding the liberty of the people.
