Thank you!!!
Thank you! The first video I've seen on this topic that isn't total trash. Means a lot king.

He grew a beard nice its slick looking
Thank you for making this video it helped me so much!! keep it up
I have a subject sociological thought and there is question about a Francis revolution. There I read about the Montesquieu how he contribute for sociology. In my subject they mention the book name " the spirit of the law" , so I'm really glad to know about legendary person.
Solute for my side!🙏
Thank you
Thank you very much! I currently have to elaborate Montesquieu for a paper and you really helped me to better understand Montesquieu's political thought. Thank you very much for this tutorial :).
Thank you
good work!
I came here randomly thinking, "I know nothing about Montesquieu and I'm bored." Thanks for the succinct explanation and the cute dog in the background.
For more info, I suggest Polybius and Cicero who wrote about the checks and balances of the Roman Republic. The major difference is that the judicial system was tied into both the magistrates, senate and assemblies. But the magistrates (representing monarchy), the senate (aristocraticy) and the assemblies (democracy) were themselves on separate but equal standing. This is where this idea sort of originates (though more really with Aristotle).
Further the founding of the American institutions reflected a similar approach.
House of Representatives = representative democracy
Senate = aristocraticy (note these were chosen by the state legislatures until the 17th amendment in the early 20th century)
President and VP = monarchy (note popular elections for the states choice of EC was not leveraged in every state)
Also worth noting, according to Aristotle, voting in an election of a candidate was seen as more aristocratic than democratic (to be clear I'm using the actual definition as the Greeks did, meaning the rule of the best). More democratic elements were things like being chosen by lot and never serving again as each citizen was thought to eventually hold their turn in office.
nice vid, short and sweet.
Cool video and nice narrator!
Wow i had no idea this guy basically invented checks and balances, im here for a government project but i think ill stick around
I really like the content of the video. Everything has eventually discussed. But hopefully you highlighted the Words on the screen. Thank you
I got a hold of your paper on this. Very insightful and relevant to current events. I believe I know where your thoughts were when selecting the topic. Virtue and education are the bellwethers I've been watching very closely for most of my adult life. Unfortunately the swing to despotism is an increasing likelihood given increasing secularization and infiltration of postmodern ideology in our educational institutions. I believe we've reached a point where a certain level of secession will be necessary to restore our republic.
Really Travis? Restore it to when? When would've been the ideal time for you? Give me the exact moment in American history you'd like to restore it to.
Thanks for this one, this was a very good and concice analysis of all that Montesquieu gave us, he was a great philosopher and should still be recognized as such. Now we are loosing it to all kinds of despotic mob bosses and the ones governing with even more random forms terrorism. This starts to look like a Bakunian world. Therefire, we should definitely start educating kids with the Troglodytes!
this videos amazing
idk why anyone disliked this, this was really good. a really good summary of montesquieus idea
Fantastic! Congratulations it´s really good information.
I think it deserves to be mentioned that republican tradition (Cicero, Tito Livio, Plutarco, Maquiavelo) is one of its main influences.
correct.
Hey man nice video, what software do you use to edit ?
Thank you! We used Wondershare Filmora to edit our videos.
Might stick around.
Hope you do! 😀
good leadership or god represented in the human form will never be outdated...hence we need to wrap our heads around DJTrump
The reality shows that the separation of powers, or any other devices promoted by Montesquieu, has failed miserably in all parts of the world. The model promoted by Monty relies on the negative side of human nature, which is jealousy. In human society, negative energy simply cannot generate positive results. The result we can see today is nothing less than tragic; one level of checks and balances requires another level of checks and balances and so on and so forth, to infinity. (Just trying to apply checks and balances to the FBI today. Good luck.)
Put simply, you will not have a healthy and happy society by putting two Mafia Families in power to achieve checks and balances.
The Spirit of Law should be rebranded as The Law without Spirit.
I have to say your presentation is great and very professional.
He looks a bit like David Tennant. :">
Delete Lawz brought me here.
3:42 i dont entirely understand what he means here, can somebody explain please?
Monte describes the various principles connected to each form of government. In this quote, he is explaining that for a despotism system to property work, there must be a high element to fear. A despot's power is fragile. Therefore, he must take every precaution necessary to protect his regime. This includes eliminating all other alliances such as to others of a god by means of force and fear. When citizens are unsure of their own security, they become entirely reliant upon their leader: cementing his position of power.
Witch country did Montesquieu identify as best suiting his philosophy? anybody know?
Hello, I do not wish to be mean but it is spelt "Which". Maybe it was just a typing error by yourself but if you did not know hopefully that helped.
I know ur answer... It's FRANCE
Lol new sub#666 😂😂😂
How horrible for a royal female to be the cause of jousts which had to be horrific
Doesn't that keep her chaste and the fight for her honor mere charade
Montesquieu never speaks of the laws and awareness thereof of communinsm which is meant to detour man against his own self and ulimately his God.
Those that cannot send a message to the universe are sacred for the disallowment of evolution to be created.
Are hailed sacred among the preists of the Temple of Saturm.
Who are the ones who hold majick above their narissistic minds.
So they can become gods for one eon and nothing more in time and space and the suggestion that the number O exists.
Is that your natural voice?? Kind of distracting. If it’s natural. My apologies.
It turns out that the result of this checks and balances idea is an oligarchy.
