Who wrote the Iroquois constitution?

Answer 1

None whatsoever. There were certain vague cosmetic similarities between the structure of the Iroqois Confederacy and the Constitution which has caused some people with certainpolitical agendas to claim that the one must have been based on the other. We have reasonably good record of the thoughts and debates of the founders however and, while they were highly knowlegeable about Greek, Roman, and English history and made much use of these historical models, they were quite ignorant of the Iroqois.

AnswerOne of the main drafters of the American Constitution, Ben Franklin-- did in fact have extensive knowledge about the Iroquios Constitution. As the owner of the print shop where a draft of the Iroquios Consitiution was printed, he had the opportunity to become very familiar with the document. In addition, his urgings to create an American Constitution were in part based on his impression of the Iroquois Constitution that he was already familiar with before America's Constitution was even written.

Answer 2

The U.S. government copied the idea of government from the Iroquois. This is what they did. The five tribes designed quite an elaborate political system. This included a bicameral (two-house) legislature, much like the British Parliament and modern U.S. Congress. The representatives, or sachems, from the Seneca and Mohawk tribes met in one house and those of the Oneida and Cayuga met in the other. The Onondaga sachems broke ties and had the power to veto decisions made by the others. This is where the government got the idea of vetoing, how to work congress. The Iroquois also had a Grand Council, where every tribe member would have the right to appeal to, if they think something was wrong, the grand council was very similar to the supreme court, thus founding the Judicial system.
