Say good things about this, Montesquieu argued for the separation of powers because he believed the government would perform more efficiently if different branches were accountable to other branches so one branch would never gain too much power. He also believed the main purpose of the government was to uphold laws, promote order and provide freedom and the protection of freedom. If the branches were combined and not monitored by the others, one branch could possibly gain too much power and next thing you know, you would have another monarchy, dictatorship or one group in control of the country. When our country was coming together and the men who were creating the Constitution looked to this as a way to protect the rights of the people and keep the government in check and honest. If Montesquieu were alive today, I would hope he would be glad to see his ideas used by a real country forming its government but I am not sure he would find the effectiveness of the separation of powers to be what he truly wrote about (too much religion in places it should not be, women having their rights and choices removed, and unfair policies and actions taken against the normal classes (not the wealthy classes), poor, elderly and minorities.).

Montesquieu had a really smart idea about how the government should work. He said that if different branches of the government were accountable to each other, it would work way better. This means that no branch would have too much power all by itself. That's a good thing because if one branch had too much power, we could end up with a king or a dictator in charge. Montesquieu also said that the main job of the government is to make sure everyone follows the laws, keep things in order, and protect our freedom. That's really important because we all want to be able to do what we want, as long as we're not hurting anyone. When our country was being built, the people who made the Constitution looked to Montesquieu's ideas to protect our rights and make sure the government doesn't become too powerful. It's cool that Montesquieu's ideas are still being used today in real countries. But, if Montesquieu were alive now, he might not be so happy with how things turned out. There are some places where religion is mixed with government, which he didn't like. Also, some women's rights are being taken away, and unfair things are happening to poor people, old people, and minorities. That's not what Montesquieu wanted at all. So, even though his ideas are good, we still need to work on making them better for everyone.
