    c. power needed to be balanced by power as a bulwark against tyranny.

    Explanation:

    Baron de la Brède et de Montesquieu was a great french political philosopher. Montesquieu was an early originator of balance of power among the three branches of government (executive, judiciary, and legislative) in his "separation of powers". He believed the equal but different powers among these branches of government was important to balance these powers, putting a check on each and preventing too much power with one individual-tyranny.
