"Roddenberry wasn't shy about promoting good old-fashioned "Americanism"; one episode in the original series features a planet where people have somehow come into possession of a U.S. flag and a copy of the Constitution, courtesy of an errant space probe"
That was the writer's doing. Majel Barrett in an interview later described that episode as one of the more ridiculous ones in her view, and was agast at Kirk almost saluting the American flag at the end of that episode.
