In honor of America250, we'll be reading "The Spirit of the Laws" by Montesquieu. No RSVP needed, but bring an open mind! "The Spirit of the Laws" (1748) by Montesquieu is a foundational work of political philosophy that analyzes government structures, arguing for a constitutional system with a separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) to ensure liberty and prevent tyranny, heavily influencing the U.S. Constitution.&nbsp;The book examines how laws, climate, and customs interact, and it also contains early secular arguments against slavery and for women's rights.
