Montesquieu was born into a noble family and educated in the law. He traveled extensively throughout Europe, including England, where he studied the Parliament. Montesquieu wrote that the main purpose of government is to maintain law and order, political liberty, and the property of the individual.

Hope this helps you as much as it helps me! <3
