Montesquieu states that without this separation, ‘…there is no liberty…’ and each branch might behave with “…violence and oppression.’” (Introduction, first paragraph) This separation is influential and relevant to today’s current governmental system because it ensures that no branch can take control of another. Each branch is closely monitored and no branch and make a decision without the other’s approval/disapproval. Baron de Montesquieu’s document, Spirit of the Law, is derived from Locke’s ideas of “natural rights, liberty, and the dangers of an abusive government.” (Page 11, Introduction, first
