Montesquieu
studied human society scientifically and he propositioned a system in which
power is distributed and separated in distinct branches to limit from
exercising another’s core functions. He created such a system so that there
should be a check and balance on the power being given to government officials.
The founding fathers of America were highly influenced by this theory and they
included it in their constitution known as “Constitution of United States of America”.
Montesquieu’s theory encourages and supports the liberty and freedom of people
and it can also be the best way in preventing a government from being corrupted
as they will keep check on each other.
Founding Fathers
did succeed in making America a better place for its native to live by keeping
this theory in its constitution but with the passage of time people learned how
to dismantle it. As you can see in America though their judicial is still
strong but corruption in government is very high because those who were supposed
to keep check and balance working as a guard and protector of the government
now work together to make corruption possible. Now the question comes to mind
that whether Montesquieu’s theory is the best way to prevent corruption from
governments?
