About De l'esprit des lois

Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws (1748) is the most influential French political text — the theory of the three governments (republic, monarchy, despotism) and their animating principles, the separation of powers theory that became the foundation of the US Constitution, and the comparative and historical method that founded political science as a discipline.
