Question

separating church and state.
creating checks and balances.
establishing natural rights.
establishing equality within society.

Explanation:

Baron de Montesquieu is known for his idea of the separation of powers, which leads to the creation of checks and balances among different branches of government. Separating church and state is more associated with ideas like those of some Enlightenment thinkers but not Montesquieu's key idea. Establishing natural rights is linked to thinkers like John Locke. Establishing equality within society was not his primary key idea. So the correct option is the one about creating checks and balances.

Answer:

B. creating checks and balances.
