Plsss

He asked for separation of powers

Explanation:

In his Spirit of Laws (1748), Montesquieu emphasized that English freedom was protected by an institutional organization. He described the division of political power into executive, legislative and judicial. He based this model on the British constitutional system in which he noted the division of power between the monarch, parliament and the judiciary. It is concluded that Montesquieu's ideas found practical expression in the American Revolution
