Montesquieu believed that the executive branch should do what?

Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers were separate and kept each other in check to prevent any branch from becoming too powerful. He believed that uniting these powers, as in the monarchy of Louis XIV, would lead to despotism.

 r represents a significant linear correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven : Linear correlation coefficient: r = 0.543

Sample size: n= 25

Significance levle:

Degree of freedom : n-2 = 25-2=23

Now, we check r critical value table for value with df = 23 and .

Critical value = ±0.396  [From r critical value table]

Since r = 0.543 > 0.396, that means there is significant linear correlation.

Hence,  r represents a significant linear correlation.
