The Great Law of Peace of the Iroquois Confederacy
Via Wikipedia, I’ve been reading Exemplar of Liberty: Native America and the Evolution of Democracy, by Donald Grinde and Bruce Johansen. The thesis of the book is that the Founders’ contact with Native Americans and their forms of government inspired Revolutionary fervor and ultimately influenced the U.S. Constitution. Personally, I believe, with Albert Jay Nock, that, rhetoric aside, subsequent history (including the genocide of Native Americans) demonstrates that the prospects for Old World-style exploitation in the New World, and the wresting of the mechanisms for such exploitation from British hands into American hands, was a far greater motivator for the Founders and the U.S. Constitution than the libertarian example of their indigenous neighbors. Nevertheless, the Native American exemplar remains as a reminder of what America could have been, and as an indictment of what America has become.
