Similarities Between Constitution And Iroquois Constitution

The United States Constitution and the Iroquois Constitution both have many similarities and differences. However, the Iroquois Constitution came a couple centuries before the United States Constitution, so some of the ideas that were in the Iroquois Constitution are now included in the United States Constitution. But this does not mean these constitutions are the same, and this paper is going to help explain some of the ways they differ and share ideas. The first of the similarities is how the Iroquois have what they call the " Tree of Great Peace." This compares to what we have with the three branches of government.

Many of these Indian confederations helped influence the United States into the country it is today. The Iroquois Confederacy was one confederation that aided the development of the United States government structures.

Good evening delegates. We are here today to talk to you about the strengths of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation are our first attempt at a new government.

While, Living Constitution is an idea which guarantees that the Constitution has an element importance and that contemporary society ought to be considered when translating key sacred expressions.

Aucoin would agree with these set commitments because there is a clear objective of fixing relationships with no loopholes and he is serving for the population and not the

The definition of justice A just society has just and fair laws, but that is not always the case. In cases like that, rebels are inevitable, there will always be someone who is willing to define justice.

As you can see while the laws control most aspects of the people’s lives, it is actually done in order to keep order and protect them. One could say that if a ruler has full power of their people it is a bad thing but I believe that by presenting them with a set of rules that need to be followed, it allows them to maintain order over their people. Another similar example to The 12 Tables is The Code of Hammurabi which also acts as a set of legal laws for the people to follow and maintain peace and balance.

The Articles of Confederation loosely tied the states together, while the Constitution was more of a centralized government.

The Iroquois Constitution is a political document which the mystic and prophet Dekanawidah, someone who travelled from village to village to urge their residents to stop fighting and join together, establishes the Iroquois Confederacy. The document was originally, not a document at all. The Iroquois were bound together by the Great Binding Law (or Great Law of Peace), which was an oral recitation passed down from generation to generation.
