Montesquieu believed that government power should be divided between different branches, much like the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in the United States. He believed that this division promoted liberty and justice. What else does the separation of powers did?

separation of power also prevents one branch or arm of government from gaining too much power

Explanation: Montesquieu was a French judge and political philosopher who lived between January 18 1689 and February 10 1755. One of his most notable ideas is the theory on separation of powers. Montesquieu is singlehandedly responsible for the theory of separation of power which has influenced many constitutions worlwide and is the bedrock the founding fathers followed while drafting the United States Constitution.

His theory of separation of power is a derivative of one of his works, The Spirit of Law and explicitly stated that each power should only exhibit the functions that had been bestowed upon it.
