Montesquieu's masterpiece The Spirit of the Laws is a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between political systems and their cultural, geographical and historical context. This book, written in 1748, is one of the most serious and influential books of the Enlightenment period, and one of the most controversial as the Catholic Church banned it in 1751. The spirit of al-Quwanin had a fundamental impact on the fathers of the United States of America that cannot be compared to any other book. Charles de Montesquieu (born in 1689 and died in 1755) was born in Bordeaux and was among the subjects of the Bourbon royal family in France during his lifetime. His approach to politics was mainly regional and partly out of leisure; Montesquieu was the president of the local and ceremonial parliament of Bordeaux from 1716 to 1728, but he attended the meetings of this parliament less than other less active members. In 1728, he was elected a member of the French Academy and eventually sold his lifetime presidency and its benefits in the local parliament in order to travel far and wide. In this section of The Spirit of Law, Montesquieu analyzes the various roles of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—under the laws of eighteenth-century England. He sees the provision of individual freedom in such a structure where the sources of power are separate from each other. This insight made the American fathers formalize what was unofficially included in the English laws and build the government based on the recommendations of this French nobleman based on three separate powers, which include the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court.
