Law should be like death, which spares no one.

This Winter break is no break at all. Science never rests, so the pursuit of knowledge shall never rest.

I don’t get why so many people are empiricists. We must use reason above everything to discuss the nature of man and the role of the government. I think my ideas make the most logical sense. 👀 #eurohistry

All of my family members are Catholic. Ugh, they don’t realize how the church is just a political tool that control people. I still don’t know how I feel about a God though.... 🤔#eurohistry

People should check out my other famous work, Persian Letters. It is very humorous, yet it also teaches several lessons. I discuss religious toleration and my beliefs in successful governments. It’s an interesting read! #eurohistry

@_JeanRousseau Unfortunately, you are correct mon amie. It is a shame how society corrupts those who are born innocent. Our society must continue to think outside of what we are used to and explore a possible change.

https://t.co/dnJwFKnsew. My fellow scholars, this article is a worthy read. You all will see the complexity of my views on religion. #eurohistry

“There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principals of fear or reason, but from passion.” #eurohistry

“Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.” #eurohistry

Fun Fact: I was born premature and had little to no chance of survival :/

@IsaacNe91839409 @eurohistryqueen I do! Education in the arts and sciences can help society thrive and constantly improve.

[Charles-Louis Montesquieu @CharlesLouisMo2]

@IsaacNe91839409 @APEURO_John I agree! And the only way to achieve this is if the government’s power is separated. We can’t have people abusing power anymore.

[Charles-Louis Montesquieu @CharlesLouisMo2]

Louis XIV is a joke! That is no way to govern a country. There is no divine right! We should follow in England’s steps and lean towards a democracy. #eurohistry

[Charles-Louis Montesquieu @CharlesLouisMo2]

The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy. #eurohistry

[Charles-Louis Montesquieu @CharlesLouisMo2]

@_JeanRousseau @diderot_1 That is very true my friend. These absolute governments always fail and hurt the people! We must spread these beliefs and avoid tyranny in the government.

Many people do not understand how their climate affects them. Climate affects the economy, work, tradition, and man’s behavior. France’s climate is perfect! The temperate climate brings optimal health and various opportunities for people. #eurohistry

[Charles-Louis Montesquieu @CharlesLouisMo2]

Should I publish my new book, L’Esprit des lois? I classify governments into republics, monarchs, and despotisms. I also express my beliefs on the separation of powers. I think it can help France but idk how people will take it...#eurohistry

[David Hume @DavidHu38878203]

I don’t see the point in arguing over religion. It’s all based on beliefs and we’re all creatures driven by our emotions. Religion can’t be supported by facts so there is no reason to make others feel bad... tolerate the differences! #eurohistry

The only effective governments are those that are elected by the people. However, the success of a democracy lies on the separation of powers. This doesn’t allow a single group to hold too much power and limit the freedom of the people. #eurohistry
