  1. They do get it a bit wrong about where the ideas and thoughts about creating the US came from by stating it was France. It was mostly from England, as John Locke was English, and so was Adam Smith and Thomas Hobbes. Our entire government is a copy of the one at Westminster, except we changed the names of the chambers, and have an elected president, though some wanted to make George Washington a monarch at first. Our House of Representatives is their House of Commons, and our Senate is their House of Lords. We used the nomenclature of the Romans to rename everything. Who they're referring to in France was Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu, and they were thought of as radicals during the founding of the US, though some of their ideas were adopted, especially later on. Kant was another, and he was from Königsberg (now Kaliningrad). However, they adopted more from Locke than Kant. Of course, this was made during FDR's days in office, so you can excuse what is stated, as it even mentions the Soviet Union as a "great experiment."
