You must be a liberal. Your historical perception is skewed. You may want to correct your liberal friends who say that our government was patterned after the Iriquois model.Founders of this country ran from religion and based our Constitution on classical Greek and Roman societies during a time when we were struggling and had a war with Great Britain, a country same as all other states in Europe that was based and run by the church and religious teachings. We ran from that shit like a monkey on fire.
Classical antiquity was present at Independence Hall both in 1776 and in 1787, to be sure, but then so were Puritanism and the Congregationalist Church. In their tracts and sermons, a generation of enlightened preachers in the eighteenth century inspired in British America the realization that colonization in the New World was an event designed by the hand of God.
