Explanation:

Montesquieu was a French philosopher whose ideas influenced many governments, including the United States.

Montesquieu wrote a book called The Spirit of Law. In this book he recognized that excess power was not good, so he introduced an idea known as separation of power. This would separate the government into multiple branches, so that one person/group couldn't take over.

We see this in our US Constitution. There are three branchs: executive, judicial, and legislative. Each branch has different powers and can "check" the others.
