separation of powers

Explanation:

Montesquieu defended that power cannot be concentrated only in one person. Because of that, he defended that it should be divided into three branches - executive, judicial and legislative -.

He argued that if these branches were separated it would be possible to promote liberty.

Since the branches were not concentrated to only one person it was needed to divide what each branch should do typically, for example, the legislative branch's main purpose is to make laws.

But Montesquieu also created another idea, the checks, and balances.

This means that each branch will have typical and atypical powers. The atypical powers are powers that are given to each branch to limit the other branches so neither of them can become tyrannical and liberty is assured. One example of the checks and balances is the power of the veto of the President.
