Well, despite the fact that the Americans were rebelling against the British, the American constitution and economic system still reflected the British system to some degree. It was assumed by many Americans that the new government would be unlike the British one, because that was the government which they were against. But in reality, the Americans created a representative government that related to the British one, with the Senate being similar to the House of Lords, and the House of Representatives representing the House of Commons. A national bank was created by Alexander Hamilton, similar to that of Britain. In the end, the English had one of the best constitutions in the world. It was just that the British had gone too far in their oppressive acts. So the leaders did retain the sense of government that the Brits instilled in them.

How about Magna Carta? Trial by Jury? Representative Government? Mix that with American independence, arrogance when it comes to dealing with leaders. We don't like government but we accept it reluctantly

The most important thing would be our legal system. The legal system and structure in the United States is very similar to that in Britain.
