1. MONTESQUIEU
José Manuel Ramos Triana

2. • Hello everybody! I’m Charles Louis de
Secondat, I was born in Bordeaux , France in
1689 to a wealthy family. Despite my family`s
wealth, I was placed in the care of a poor
family during my childhood. Later I went to
college and studied science and history,
eventually becoming a lawyer in the local
goverment. My father died in 1713 and I was
placed under the care of my uncle, Baron de
Montesquieu.

3. • He died in 1716 and left me his fortune, his
office as president of the Bordeaux
Parliament, and his title of Baron de
Montesquieu. Then, I was a member of the
laws and customs and goverments of the
countries of Europe. I also traveled through
Europe, including a year in Italy and 18
months in England. I distinguished 3 types of
government :(monarchies, republics and
despotisms).

4. • Well! New I`m going to talk about my ideas. I
believe in the separation of powers. My ideas
will become the basis for the United States
Constitution. Despite everything I approve of
slavery.
• And that`s me.
