	Bambooweb: Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu
		Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (January 18, 1689 - February 10, 1755) was a French political thinker who lived during the Enlightenment and who is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, taken for granted in many modern discussions of governments and implemented in many constitutions the world over.
		Montesquieu argued that the aristocracy - which Voltaire would decry - protected the state from the absolutist despot (or monarchy) and from the despotism of the many (or anarchy).
		Montesquieu's most radical work divided the three French classes into checks and balances, (or trias politica) a term he coined, of three sovereignties; the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the commons.

		Montesquieu endowed his travelers with the foreign, commonsense understanding necessary to effectively criticize European (French) customs and institutions, yet he also gave to his Persians the foibles and weaknesses necessary to make his readers recognize in them their own weaknesses.
		Montesquieu's history may not have been scientific in the modern sense, but despite the criticism leveled against it, it was his search for general causal factors that helped to lay the basis for the secularization of historical studies.
