Washington, who became a prominent figure from around 1890 until his death in 1915. This shows just how much influence Montesquieu and his beliefs were maintained in over 100 years time. ]]> 2022-06-22 03:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227450258 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227452245 He was a firm believer in a balance of power and spreading authority over many so as to prevent extreme individual rule, so he encouraged the idea of maintaining three branches of government. This idea of the separation of powers and distribution of power remains intact today and can be seen through the creation of our government and its foundation. The founding fathers created the U.S. government with the intent to equally distribute authority, so there wouldn't be an instance with misuse of power, like there had been with Great Britain. The U.S. had just gained independence from Great Britain and its monarchy, and wanted to avoid making the same mistake and misuse of power. ]]> 2022-06-22 03:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227452245 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227454271 Montesquieu believed that each branch of the government (executive, judicial, and legislative) needed to remain separate from one another, so that the liberty of the people governed remained intact. His belief was carried out through the creation of the U.S. government which includes a legislative branch to make laws, an executive branch to carry out those laws, and then a judicial branch to judge each law. Without this balance of power, the U.S. may not have maintained the level of peace among its citizens that it has today. ]]> 2022-06-22 03:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227454271 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227475975 In addition to believing that the separation of power was necessary, Montesquieu thought that the authority of the military should remain in multiple hands rather than one. Though he thought the executive branch should be entrusted with instructing the armies, he advocated for the legislative branch to have power in the control of the army as well. ]]> 2022-06-22 04:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227475975 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227479877 Montesquieu also protested fanaticism, which can clearly be seen in his reforms to maintain equality and to prevent corruption of power. He spent much time dedicated to promoting ways of thinking that opposed narrow-minded and individually focused ideals. ]]> 2022-06-22 04:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227479877 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227481006 2022-06-22 04:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227481006 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227481463 2022-06-22 04:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227481463 4brikash84 https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2227487023 Branches of the Government: https://missourilawyershelp.org/lessons-plans/the-basics-government-and-law-2/chapter-1-the-u-s-constitution/

This states that the Federal government only has the powers listed by the Constitution and emphasizes that, if the power isn't listed, it belongs to the state or the people. This supports Montesquieu's belief in the distribution of power, so that citizen's rights remain intact and there is no corruption of power. ]]> 2022-06-22 19:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/4brikash84/m37vyi6wahirsi0g/wish/2228131106
