Irational fear of hell still naggs me from time to time

Regarding the Iroquois Confederacy, while our government has acknowledged it as an inspiration for our own Constitution, there's controversy surrounding its actual role in the creation of our document.  Namely that much of what's presented within doesn't actually match up all that well to what our Constitution became.  Our government, and, perhaps, more specifically the way in which we govern is far closer to the British system than anything the Iroquois did.

what are you talking about google Iroquois confederacy.. the thre branches of government, the seperation of powers, that is the back bone of our constitution!!!

Our structure of government is largely a reaction to the flaws the Founders saw in the British system, namely the House of Lords, whose members consist(ed) of the senior bishops of the Church of England, royalty, and those voted in by the Sovereign and their peers (not the common folk).  Moreover, it was the House of Lords that, until 2009, when a separate Supreme Court was established, held a judicial role.  So, the Founders did the following:

Kept a bicameral legislature (our Congress has both a House of Representatives and a Senate)
Kept a member of the executive in the legislature (our Vice President is the President of the Senate, who casts tie-breaking votes)
Changed one part of the legislature from being filled by monarchy or religious leadership to being filled by anyone, with regular elections (no House of Lords)
Created a separate Supreme Court

And while the Iroquois Confederacy may have been an influence of Franklin's Albany Plan, there's no evidence in the mounds of notes and records we have of the Founders and their long road towards forming our government that it was the model for it.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  

But, I'm sure you're not going to listen because you're a blessed by god Google scholar whose shit doesn't stink.  That's how you roll, after all.
