“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” (The Constitution of the United States of America. 1787) The preface of the constitution of the United States of America is probably one of the most quoted paragraphs used by every citizen of the world when referring to established laws, and from every citizen of the United States when it is referred to Freedom, and Justice. Ironically when people refer to this and therefore the whole constitution they are directly referring to one of the greatest minds in history: Charles Louis de Secondat Baron de Montesquieu. He is not only one of the real founders of the American Constitution, but he is the start on revolutionary ideas in means on anthropology, politics and economical revolutions; he is the founder of society comfort, he is the inspiration for the French Revolution with his ideas of Justice, Freedom and Equality. Still his name has almost disappeared in the modern world.
Charles Louis de Secondat was born on January 18, 1689, at the castle of La Brède near Bordeaux in France. His father Jacques de Secondat was a soldier with a long noble ancestry, and his mother, Marie Françoise de Pesnel, was an heiress who eventually brought the barony of La Brède to the Secondat family, unfortunately she died when Charles was still a kid. In 1705 he returned to Bordeaux to study laws, and in 1708 he moved to Paris where he developed a real disgust to the city. In 1715 he married Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, who brought him a large dowry. In 1716 he inherited his Uncle Baron de Montesquieu office of Président à Mortier in the Parlement of Bordeaux,
