Montesquieu - First Column Questions
1. What are the 3 parts of the US government?
The US government has three branches: Legislative (makes laws, e.g., Congress), Executive (enforces laws, e.g., President), and Judicial (interprets laws, e.g., Supreme Court). This is based on the separation of powers concept, which Montesquieu influenced.
Separating powers prevents one branch from gaining too much power (tyranny). Each branch can check the others (checks and balances), ensuring accountability, protecting individual rights, and maintaining a balanced government.
Montesquieu criticizes using law/justice as a guise for tyranny. He means that when those in power misuse legal authority to oppress, it’s a great injustice—tyranny hidden behind supposed justice.
