About the author

Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French social commentator and political thinker who lived during the Enlightenment. He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is taken for granted in modern discussions of government and implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He was largely responsible for the popularization of the terms "feudalism" and "Byzantine Empire."

"Het is voor de wereld van de Turken en de Spanjaarden een goede zaak dat God heeft toegestaan dat er edelen zijn die geschikt zijn om zonder enig nut een groot rijk te bezitten."
