What is Montesquieu on Political Liberty and Power about?

Montesquieu argues that political liberty exists only in moderate governments where there is no abuse of power, emphasizing the need for a system of checks and balances. He believes that individuals in power are likely to misuse it, and thus, the separation of powers into legislative, executive, and judiciary branches is essential to prevent such abuse. Without this separation, liberty cannot be maintained as one person or group could hold absolute power.
