London Schwartz · Answer 1

Speaker 1: The will of the people is what is best for society.

Speaker 2: People exchange some of their individual freedoms for protection by the government.

Speaker 3: Governments should be divided into branches that are separate but equal.

Speaker 4: Governments derive their powers from the consent of the people.

The Baron de Montesquieu would most likely agree with the Speaker 3, as it was Montesquieu who theorize first that a government should be divided into branches that are separated but equal (the three branches should be executive, legislative and judiciary), in order to avoid that one of the three could acquire more power than the other and as a form of control of democracy.
