What were Charles de Secondat, baron de Montesquieu's failures or problems?

Question

I have to give a speech about him. I've found everything about him except his failures. Does anyone know? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Answer 1

Well,
It seems as though you've made a worthy attempt. This man is one who I refer to as a "derivitive." As such, the branching out of information about him is somewhat more difficult to find with search engines.
Here is some "stuff" for you, if you need more, ask another question.
I'm new at this (yahoo answers), so I'm still working on the best way to help you:

Although Montesquieu’s work had a great effect on the development of democracy, Montesquieu himself believed that no one governmental system better than the others but rather that different forms were better than others in certain situations. An early pioneer in sociology, he spent considerable time collecting data from various world cultures, which led him to the rather outlandish conclusion that climate is a major factor in determining the best form of government for a given region. Montesquieu believed that environmental conditions affect behavior and response and thus concluded that governments located in different climates should be adjusted accordingly. Even Montesquieu admitted that this idea worked better in theory than in practice. His legacy therefore lies primarily in his methods, his combination of practicality and Enlightened idealism—ultimately, he was a researcher through and through.

If you need more, add it to your question

Good Luck!
