How Americans view the British
#18
RE: How Americans view the British
In my view, Britain is the mother country. Canada, our twin sibling, was the good child. We were the wild, Hell-raising, rebellious one that stormed out of the house during our adolescence. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and we largely copied your system of government as it existed at the time. 

The stereotype is that America is enterprising and Britain more traditional minded but looking at our history, the reverse seems to be true. The British system of government has evolved whereas we've enshrined our constitution and deified our founders. Our recent election underscores this problem where we're still stuck with this antiquated Electoral College.
