The given statement "when the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty." is true.
Any government is made up of three bodies- the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. We talk about the legislative and the executive here. The legislative is the body that makes the laws/rules while the executive is the body that carries out all these laws and keeps a check on what is approved or not.
When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty. This is because then any law would easily be implemented without any system of checks and balances and thus, any liberty would be lost. Hence, the given statement is true.
