And, I might add, the idea that the Iroquois wrote the constitution is absurd. Certain aspects of the Constitution were inspired by the Iroquois confederacy, but even then the influence doesn’t extend to the Constitution’s specifics.
“Certain aspects of the Constitution were inspired by the Iroquois confederacy,”
Which aspects, specifically?
The Founders were familiar with, and studied intensively, past and (then) contemporary European constitutional arrangements. From classical antiquity republics, democracies, monarchies and mixed constitutions were all familiar and their experience was most intimately informed of course by English history and the struggle there in the preceding century to establish the supremacy of Parliament against first the monarch and then against military despotism. Forgive me for being exceedingly skeptical but I can’t recall any instance of the adoption of Iroquois precedent, it sounds like so much PC nonsense to me.
