    Answer

    Charles de Montesquieu philosopher classified governments as republics, monarchies, and despotism.

    Explanation

    Charles de Montesquieu was a French political philosopher whose main work was to to make sure that he contributed to the major political theory. He also had great ideas of separation of powers. For preventing some branches to be more powerful than the others, his conclusion was that there be separation between the judiciary the executive and the legislature. He had a belief that if these powers were to be united as in the monarchy of Louis XIV it will lead to despotism. He classified government into three categories which are the republic, monarchies and the despotism.

    In republic government is where powers of the sovereign country are exercised and vested by the people either directly or through the representatives they have chosen.

    In monarchy government this is where power is inherent that is from one member of the family or generation to the others. Most of these governments are ruled by Kings and Queens.

    In despotism this is where the rulers or the leaders do not have the full control or they have few rights.
