   @wcbdata @fm2279 @CartyBoston I think Montesquieu actually favoured the legislative branch over the other two. His point was separation of powers, but not necessarily equality between the branches.

     @evan what does "none of the above even mean?"

     I feel like a lot of people uselessly choose "none of the above" about tons of stuff these days.
