How does the organization of the US government reflect the ideas of Enlightenment philosopher Baron de Montesquieu?

Montesquieu argued that government power should be separated among different branches so no one part could become too powerful. The U.S. government follows this idea by dividing power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Therefore, the correct choice is “The government is divided into three branches.”
