@francisyockey2215 LOL
Do you really think that a bunch of illiterate tea farmers knew a damn thing about Rome, Or the Hellenian failed democracy?
Besides, Rome was a failed republic too, and became a dictatorship with a Cesar.
The Iroquois practised democracy right in front of them. And have been doing so successfully for 700 years until your invading hordes from Europe came.
Granted, there were some educated rich plantation owners (the southern plantation owners were first loyal to the English king while poor farmers in the north were the real rebels).. Granted Thomas Jefferson spoke 4 languages, played the violin, and admired the grand stature of the old Romans, and built the Congress around it. But that's as far as practising anything Roman, or Greek goes. Granted, they took European terms to sound posh..
The rest was taken from the natives, and abandoned almost immediately. USA has never been a true democratic republic. Slavery... No voting rights for women...or freedom to the natives...The notion of "all men are created equal" is laughable considering who wrote them, and who has been clinging to power while denying anything "privilege" since 1775, despite the fact that this joke of a testament in practice only applied to white, male Christians...
