“Spirit of the Laws” Separation of Powers Due Process

“Spirit of the Law” concerning religion “The Christian religion, which ordains that men should love each other, would, without doubt, have every nation blest with the best civil, the best political laws; because these, next to this religion, are the greatest good that men can give and receive.” Spirit of the Laws Book 24
