Answer: Charles-Louis de Secondat

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles-Louis de Secondat was a French philosopher who is credited with the coining of the term, ''Separation of Powers'' in the 18th century.

The principle behind this term was that for the government to properly function and protect the liberty of people, there needed to be three branches which were independent of each other and had separate roles.

One of these branches was to be the Judicial branch which would be in charge of interpreting the laws of the land.
