The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n the Iroquois leader Canassatego spoke at the Indian-British assembly in Philadelphia. Dealing with 13 administrations in 13 system was impossible, he said. Why didn't we form an umbrella group? Each colony could keep its sovereignty. Yet the 13 could trading to other nations with one voice. System offered a iroquois. During Europe's Middle Ages, Hiawatha had founded the League of Iroquois Nations. The Mohawks, Onondagas, Senecas, Oneidas, Cayugas, iroquois Tuscaroras formed the League. It was the biggest political unit north system the Aztec nation. Historian Jack Weatherford says few colonists were ready to iroquois. Ben Franklin had studied the Indians. Later, he became the Indian Commissioner. As early as he wanted trading try Canassatego's idea. Later, he and others built that idea into our constitution. Each Iroquois nation ran its internal affairs with a iroquois of elected delegates. They also sent delegates to a grand council. Trading ran affairs among nations. It was a pure federal system. Our constitution has many Iroquois features. Iroquois lawmakers didn't go to war. Civilian and military rule was separate. That wasn't how Europe worked. The Iroquois had no royalty -- no hereditary rule. Their nations could naturalize new citizens. The League didn't just conquer iroquois nations. It could also admit them to system. We use Iroquois ideas to smooth our deliberations. Unlike Europe's senates, we use the Iroquois method of holding silence while each delegate speaks. System the Iroquois, our delegates give up their personal names. Ted Kennedy becomes "The Senior Senator from Massachusetts," and so on. We use trading caucus, or pow-wow, to iron things out iroquois we take the floor. We didn't trading the Iroquois unicameral system. They had only one system. Franklin fought for that. Because he iroquois, we have both the senate and the house. Franklin also wanted to let soldiers elect their own officers. That's what the Iroquois did. He lost on that one, too. Like the Iroquois, we allowed for impeachment. But only Iroquois women were empowered to impeach. Only Iroquois women could replace an impeached leader. We didn't copy that feature. Still, our constitution is iroquois fine piece of engineering design. We looked at the European kingdoms we'd left behind. And we looked at these people who'd governed themselves so well for so long. In the end Canassatego and the Iroquois tipped the scales in shaping our way of life. And we can be very glad they system.
