How did the ideas of montesquieu connect the ancient world with the new world?

Montesquie borrowed the idea of the three branches of government from the Roman Republic and passed it along the American revolutionaries. His book regarding the economic policies was based on the command economy of Egypt which then shaped the American financial system. He wrote a satire titled "Persian Letters" which critiqued the former Persian Empire which then served to shape the American social structure. His idea of consent of the governed, based on the Chinese Mandate of Heaven was the foundation of American democracy.
