Serie : 1st generation

Type : Lighting

Attack 1 : Seperation of Power
According to Montesquieu, the three kinds of power in every government are legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch creates laws and revises the laws that have already been made. The executive branch carries the laws out and makes sure that they are executed. The judicial power is to punish those who don’t follow the law.

Attack 2 : Tyranncy
Montesquieu views it a problem when one man controls the three powers of government because there would be no freedom and they would have all the power in the government. They would be able to create oppressive laws and force people to oblige to them.

Comments : "Religion should not turn priests or kings into Gods, when they are often incestuous, murderers, and poisoners. Faith should teach only the love of God, justice, tolerance, and humanity.”

Illustrator : "There would be no freedom if the same man or the same group of men controlled those three powers at once. This man or group of men would have complete control over all parts of the law."
