Who developed the concept of separation of powers?

  1. John Locke

  2. Thomas Hobbes

  3. Plato

  4. Montesquieu

The correct answer is: Montesquieu

Montesquieu developed the concept of separation of powers. John Locke and Thomas Hobbes both focused more on the social contract theory while Plato had a more philosophical approach to government. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they did not directly contribute to the concept of separation of powers as Montesquieu did.
