natural rights and separation of powers

Explanation:

These three thinkers contributed to the political philosophy of liberalism (not to be mistaken with the contemporary political ideology of the same thing). Liberalism held that each individual in society had, in virtue of being an individual, an ability to conceive of and pursue a conception of the good. An individual thus conceived (the definition is largely attributable to Locke) had a need for protection from the state (this idea tracks to Paine) and this protection was best delivered by breaking up the state into a varied of departments which each had a limited sphere of authority (Montesquieu).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
