[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original question is misguided. It suggests that we need a model state in order to make a nation based upon self-reliance work. This is as crazy as someone in 1775 asking what country was the model for allowing citizens to be free. There wasn't one then. That did not prevent the US from becoming the greatest and most powerful country in the world.[/quote] Actually Enlightenment ideas fomented in Europe, primarily France, influenced the American revolution which in turn influenced the French Revolution. Nothing happens in a vacuum and it would be foolish to assume to freedom is some sort of American invention when Americans were influenced by European thinkers and vice versa. But don’t let facts and history get in the way of your mentality.[/quote] Also, they had over a century's worth of experience in self government with Colonial legislatures.[/quote]
