[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Voltaire believed in the idea of separation of powers, in which the government was divided into different branches to prevent any one individual or group from having too much power. This concept challenged the traditional absolute monarchy system in which the monarch held all power. Voltaire argued that concentrating power in the hands of one person could lead to tyranny and abuse of power. Instead, he advocated for a system of checks and balances to ensure that power was distributed evenly and held accountable. This idea laid the groundwork for the development of democratic systems of government that we see today.
