Q. Who gave the concept of ‘Separation of Powers’ related to different forms of governments?
Answer: Montesquieu
Notes: The concept of ‘separation of powers’ refers to the division of governmental authority into three branches: legislative, executive and judiciary. In ‘The Spirit of the Laws’ (1748), Montesquieu described the distribution of political power among a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary. He based this model on the Constitution of the Roman Republic and the British constitutional system.
