Seems you're skipping forward to the current founding of the united states, which was ~1776.
The us constitution was modeled after the local Haudenosaunee Confederacy population's government.
They were finally ousted by white (terrorist) settlers during the Sullivan-clinton campaign.
... considering that there was no 'United States' prior to 1776, this seems a pretty natural position to take.
This is a pop history myth.
Since you relied on your 'trust me because I post a lot' position in responding (you are making it up off the cuff);
Here's some additional details about what you allege is a myth:
Library of Congress Blog Post: https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2023/09/the-haudenosaunee-confederacy-and-the-constitution/
Britannica post regarding the Confederacy: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Haudenosaunee-Confederacy
Do click in there if you doubt that there's a plethora of backing information.
Why lie or feign ignorance? Is this to further the point? Doesn't it function without the lies?
The current nation's founding is rooted in several theories of antiquity and the ground they occupy had centuries of similar government.

Nice citation of Britannica that says absolutely nothing about your claim, by the way.
