While there is much debate on this, the U.S. Government was formed using the Iroquois Federation as a model.

Try reading the Social Contract by Rousseau before making this claim. The Constitution is an idea of Dead White European Males.

The Iroquois had many of these same attributes 200 years prior to Locke and Rousseau.

Equality

Branch System of Government

Sovereignty of Member States

Citizens or Member Elders made government decisions

I agree that many of Locke’s ideas were used, but the Iroquois had the same ideas much earlier.
