ผู้เขียน: Baron de Montesquieu

Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu (1689-1755), generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French judge, man of letters, and political philosopher. He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He is also known for doing more than any other author to secure the place of the word “despotism” in the political lexicon.
