The founders of the United States were to government what Mozart was to music and what Einstein and Newton were to physics. The English-speaking world had a centuries-old history of development of limited government, separation of powers, government with consent of the governed, and so on. By the time of the American Revolution, the colonies had a century's worth of practice with legislatures of elected representatives, limited government and separation of powers, right within America. Built on this tradition in the English-speaking world, the system founded in America is the greatest achievement in the science and art of government.
