The French Revolution owes its ideas to Rousseau and Voltaire. No one such influence exists with the United States Constitution. It started with the Constitution John Adams had written for Massachusetts. It copied some features of the British Parliament. It used some features from Indian Tribes. Many of the early colonies had been founded by Calvinists and it took features from their government and the ideas of John Calvin. The two men at the Constitutional Convention with the greatest influence were George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
It was probably the ideas of John Calvin which made possible a Federal Union instead of an empire. Russia and China appoints its governors like in an empire. They can not function as a Federal Union. The US was the first Federal Union to cover such a large area.
