Detailed Solution

Montesquieu wrote 'The Spirit of Laws''. It was published in 1748 and provided a thorough comparative analysis of governmental systems instead of making fun of French habits as he did in The Persian Letters. He claimed that several forms of government were appropriate depending on the situation. The ideal form of government, according to Montesquieu and Locke, is the one that best suits the character of the populace. The abolition of slavery, the preservation of civil liberties and the rule of law, the idea that political institutions should reflect each community's social and geographic characteristics, and the constitutional system of government and the separation of powers were all promoted by Montesquieu.
