B. Baron de Montesquieu

Explanation:

According to Montesquieu, there are three forms of government (despotism, republic and monarchy), each of which is based on a nature (what is) and on the principle (what makes it act, as the government should be) predominant. The primary purpose of all of them is conservation, and the best government is the one that best fits the people and their nature, although, generally speaking, he did think that a government with elected rulers would be the best. He was also the responsible for the idea of the 3 branches government. In this case, the legislative power is a branch that is also elected by the people. That's why it all fits Montesquieu's ideas.
