I influenced the Constitutions of the United States and the French Revolutionary Republic as they both drew heavily on the on the idea of the separation of powers. This is so that no one person could have all the power and so it doesn't turn into total tyranny. Like full on war and revolutions.
This is what could happen:

Philosophy!!!
The philosophy I had was the great separation of powers that I believed that should be instilled into the government and as of to day I see and hear that some took the idea to life.
Research, Findings, and Legacy!
When I did my thing I never took the short way as I took the long and the more detailed way. If I just took it the easy way I would have never become one of the great philosophers that people research about...*like now*...I was one dedicated person. The findings now a days have shown that my beliefs have worked. The legacy I left was.....hmmm.. let me think.... oh yeah I left those to think about the unbalance of the governments power.
Beliefs and Arguements with Society
I was a belief that the war and blood shed did not and what it needs a society is the law. #Ironic Meaning I believe in forms of governments that they might be preserved from corruption. I believed that Social Institutions were made from ignorant people.
My problem that I really had with the Society is just basically the government and how they don't treat everybody as equals as they do with the wealthy. I expressed the society in my master piece called The Spirit of Laws. I constructed this after I studied the cultures and behaviors of those around me on my three-year trip to Europe.

Education
I was sent to this some type of Prep. school called Oratorian College de Juilly to get a so called progressive education. I was then sent back to study the law in 1705. Five years later I developed a huge dislike for the study as I express later in the Persian Letters. I did learn eventually but I just had an extreme dislike for the law as I studied it for five plus years.
Place of Birth
I grew up in Chateau de la Brede near Bordeaux France. I lived in a castle for some of my life as I grew up here. Since I've been living in the castle I was likely to have a huge house and a view of the water.#BigHouseWithAView
Childhood with Family Life
Early in my childhood I hardly ever got to see my father, Jacques de Secondat, since he was a noble soldier. When I was seven my mother, Marie Francoise de Pensel, had died in 1696. I spent most of my early years in the village of La Brede among the peasants that resided there. Later on my father died in 1713. Two years after the death of my father I married my love, Jeanne de Lartigue, along with having two wonderful daughters and I had one son, Jean-Baptiste. #Wonderful-before-afterlife

Introduction
Bonjour! My name is Montesquieu. Most people don't know who I am, but after this you will. I am a Political Philosopher of the Enlightenment. My age has come and gone as I am now a wrinkled old mess. Here is a little bit about: I was born on January 18th, 1689 in the castle of La Brede near Bordeaux. I must be really old by now. I died on February 10th, 1755 during a trip to Paris from a fever. I hope that you enjoy the rest of this blog!!!!!!
