Question

Which aspect of English government traditions did not influence leaders in the United States?

Answer 1

When the United States declared their independence from Great Britain, the last thing they wanted was another strong central government. One of the most significant reasons why they broke away from Britain was due to the power of King George III and his poor decision making. This is is why in the Articles of Confederation (the first US Constitution) the US creates a very small central government.

Answer 2

There are hardly any aspects of English government that are controlled directly by the states.

There are a few functions such as healthcare, education, and employment are delegated to the states through the federal government.

The  English government tradition such as  banning taxation without representation, protection from arrest without cause, freedom from quartering soldiers, and freedom to petition the government did not influence the leaders in the united states.
