That power, government power, is corrupting because eventually the government's going to try to save itself rather than save the people. So what Montesquieu says is if we develop a separation of powers and then we give each of those powers different powers to check each other so they can balance that power out, then we'll have even more safety in our natural rights. So he comes up with checks and balances and separation of powers, which most Western nations and even other nations around the world that aren't dictatorships or absolute monarchs have. In England they have a parliament, and then they elect the leader of England. How could I not know that? The prime minister. And they also have a judicial system.
