So you agree with me!
Montesquieu indeed! But there is way more to all this...

Beyond the fact that the US constitution was ratified just about a year before the French Revolution, and that BOTH the French and US revolutions were partly inspired by french thinkers (especially Montesquieu)... it’s highly important to recall another fact (more important than the US constitution itself): it’s the essential fact that America won its war of independence in the first place!
It was won in large part thanks to... France’s massive military help in troops, weapons, ammunition shipments, savvy military organisation and know-how.
All that was a needed prerequisite which permitted America to later envision and craft constitution.
If America would have remained British, there would be zero US constitution. Right?

No wonder Trump stated this about France:

“President Donald Trump, during a visit to Paris for Bastille Day, said, “France is America’s oldest ally. A lot of people don’t know that,” and added, “France helped us secure our independence, a lot of people forget.”

Navy Patriot? Are you disagreeing with President Trump??

Also, here is a nice read for you:

“Few Want to Admit It, but the French Saved America During the Revolution”
