Were I cruel, I would say that it is to the americans what a roman aqueduct was to a medieval european: a thing revered and studied because the ability to recreate constructs (or in this case legeslature) of such quality has been long lost.

I think you might be right.

The most important statement in the US constitution is "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". I could never imagine happiness being enshrined in the UK. Spiteful misery, yes. Vengeful cruelty - natch. And yet while they wrote those words, they were condemning thousands to death, slavery in the pursuit of other's greed. I can't think of a stronger argument that the constitution is a product of its context and that context (like all contexts) was blinkered, hypocritical and self serving.

Bruh. That's the declaration. Nice pontification though.
