Montesquieu: Eine Perspektive

Montesquieu is considered the father of the separation of powers. The dominant view regards the judiciary merely as a passive power, the “mouth of the law.” In this book, Antonio Merlino advances a different interpretation, arguing that Montesquieu saw the judiciary as an indispensable political counterweight to legislative and executive powers.
