Question 18
Montesquieu's key idea is separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) to prevent tyranny. The quote says combining legislative and executive powers harms liberty. So he'd favor separating government branches. Option a is incorrect (natural laws aren't limited here). Option c is about free speech, not Montesquieu's focus. Option d (absolute monarchies) is against his ideas. So the correct option is b.
Voltaire's quote defends the right to express ideas, even if one disagrees. This relates to freedom of speech. Option a (church - state separation) is not the focus here. Option b (fair justice system) is unrelated. Option d (separation of power) is Montesquieu's idea. So the correct option is c.
John Locke promoted natural rights (life, liberty, property) and the idea that government's duty is to protect these individual rights. Option b is wrong (he believed in people's ability to rule). Option c (absolute king power) is against his ideas. Option d is unrelated. So the correct option is a.
