The three values which can be reflected from this proposal are: (i) Power-sharing: This arrangement would refute the doctrine of the divine and absolute right of the monarch. (ii) Equality: The enforcement of equality would bring all the people of France on the same platform. There would be no special privileges for the clergy or the nobility. Everyone would enjoy equal status. (iii) Expansion of peace and prosperity: A good administration is always a harbinger of peace and prosperity. In France, if the government valued Montesquien's proposal, there would be peace everywhere. People would prosper day by day.
