Answer 2

E) John Locke

Step-by-step explanation:

John Locke is one of the most preeminent philosophers to praised the liberalism and the idea of a minimum State. He defended the division of power between Executive, Legislative and Judiciary, following the philosophy of Montesquieu. However, against the initial idea that the powers should have the same balance, John Locke believed that the Legislature was the most important to come from the people, while the others should be subordinate to him, in response to his requests.
