Explanation:

Montesquieu advocated separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) for liberty. The U.S. Constitution's system of checks - and - balances and three - branch structure reflects this. The separation of powers ensures no single branch becomes too powerful.

None of the provided options are correct as the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers into three branches (legislative, executive, judicial) was influenced by Montesquieu's ideas, not the options given.
