Answer 2

Reflected on the organization of powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baron de Montesquieu was a French Enlightenment philosopher who, in the eighteenth century, in the Enlightenment heyday, wrote on various subjects, the most famous of which was his approach to the separation and distinction of the three powers. According to Montesquieu the legislative, judiciary and executive powers should be separated. This would be necessary so that there was no abuse of power by the parties, so, although divided, there should be balance between the legislative, judiciary and executive. This view influenced the formation of powers in the United States after independence, that is, administrative organization. Enlightenment ideas had an impact on the American constitution, and Montesquieu's idea of the three powers was used to formulate the organization of the American government.
