Again, proving you wrong.
The Origin of Government and Laws in Connecticut
JESSE ROOT, 1798
These rights and liberties are our own, not holden by the gift of a despot. Our government and our rulers are from amongst ourselves; chosen by the free, uninfluenced suffrages of enlightened freemen; not to oppress and devour, but to protect, feed, and bless the people, with the benign and energetic influence of their power (as ministers of God for good to them). This shows the ignorance of those who are clamorous for a new constitution, and the mistake of those who suppose that the rules of the Common Law of England are the common law of Connecticut, until altered by a statute.

Why would the very people that won their freedom from Britain, use their law as the basis of a new country.
I’m not wrong, but you certainly are bold to claim so without any evidence. Yes, the US inherited the Common Law of England, but not in complete whole! Nor would I ever deny that we did. The Constitution and the BOR both include constructs NOT inherited, and at variance with that common law.
Also next time try to be specific in what you claim someone is wrong about, and you have not done so. I accept your apology, or I challenge you to a duel of honor at 50 paces should you refuse an apology.
