Montesquieu was an 18th-century French philosopher. He was another important figure in the Enlightenment. In his writings, he discussed the separation of government powers into an executive, legislative and judicial branch. He was inspired by the British system, but he imagined a system even better where no one person or branch could have all the power.
The reason behind the separation of power was that a person or group of people who gain too much power can start making decisions that don't benefit all of society. They can use the government to benefit themselves or their friends instead. One way of keeping this in check is by separating powers in the government. Different responsibilities fall to different branches of government. This keeps any one branch from having too much power. One branch of government may promote a bad idea. But hopefully, the other branches will limit their power.
