Montesquieu

Montesquieu was a French philosopher and political thinker best known for his work 'The Spirit of the Laws', which influenced modern political theory and the development of the separation of powers.

"In republican governments, men are all equal; equal they are also in despotic governments: in the former, because they are everything; in the latter, because they are nothing."

Montesquieu

"I can assure you that no kingdom has ever had as many civil wars as the kingdom of Christ."

Montesquieu
