Thomas Hobbes
C
Baron de Montesquieu

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Explanation

The excerpt assigns legislative power to Congress, which consists of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. This reflects Baron de Montesquieu’s ideas about dividing government power among branches to prevent any one part from becoming too powerful; John Locke also wrote about government, but Montesquieu is most closely associated with separation of powers.
