    If you’re talking about the US, a constitutional bicameral presidential republic, with three branches and a judiciary of your peers, was first done in the US. In fact most modern constitutions are inspired by the American constitution.

    • Republic - Greece and Rome.
    • Democracy - Greece
    • Judiciary & Jury - Saxon/England
    • Common Law Legal System - Saxon/England
    • Principles of the Enlightenment that inspired the Founding Fathers - Germany, France, Italy and England

    More countries have used the Canadian constitution than the US as their framework.
