The 3 Branches of Government:
The three branches of government were inspired by the Enlightenment time period. It was mainly by Montesquieu's Separation of Powers. During the Enlightenment time, they only had one government so the Enlightenment thinkers had the idea to change it to three branches which are Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, and Judicial Branch. That is where we got the idea of Three Branches of Government.
