Explain what Montesquieu means when he writes"every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go?"Do you agree or disagree?Why?

Montesquieu said that "every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go". Agree with this statement.

Explanation:

In the book, "The Spirits of the Law", Montesquieu wrote that powers of a government should be divided between three: legislative, executive and judiciary. This separation is important to make sure that a single group of individuals are not given too much of a power. This would ensure that power is not abused.

He said that history has proved that political power has always been abused by a person who has it in abundance. So, to promote political liberty he thought it is important that there are separate branches of powers in a government.

So, Montesquieu made such a system with checks and balances so that no man uses law to do things he shouldn't do and also he refrains from doing what he is allowed to do.
