    one of montesquiou's most lasting
  • 00:00:44
    legacies is the idea of separating

    powers within government among different
  • 00:00:48
    branches legislative executive and
  • 00:00:51
    judiciary
  • 00:00:52
    while commonplace among western
  • 00:00:53
    democracies today in montesquieu's time
  • 00:00:56
    it was a revolutionary concept to

    the power of supply and demand for
  • 00:01:25
    montesquiou was yet one more check on
  • 00:01:27
    the power of government because leaders
  • 00:01:30
    even monarchs could only exert so much
  • 00:01:32
    control over commerce
  • 00:01:34
    but perhaps more importantly montesquieu
  • 00:01:36
    was one of the first to realize the
