History of democracy
Historikeren Jack Weatherford har hævdet, at de idéer, der førte til USA's forfatning og demokrati, stammer fra forskellige oprindelige folk i Amerika, herunder irokeserne. Weatherford hævdede, at dette demokrati blev grundlagt mellem år 1000-1450 og varede i flere hundrede år, og at det amerikanske demokratiske system løbende blev ændret og forbedret af indflydelsen fra indianerne i hele Nordamerika.

Historian Jack Weatherford has argued that the ideas leading to the United States Constitution and democracy derived from various indigenous peoples of the Americas including the Iroquois. Weatherford claimed this democracy was founded between the years 1000–1450, and lasted several hundred years, and that the U.S. democratic system was continually changed and improved by the influence of Native Americans throughout North America.
