There are a lot of educated but ignorant historians of america in specific and the broader west in general, who claim innovations that were not, but were continuations of the european strategy and tradition.

Largely this is caused by ignoring the HRE, and lionizing France and England and the supposed ‘enlightenment’ (that was not).

In other words, in an effort to justify middle class use of democratic dogma to capture of the state from the aristocracy and subsequently to produce authoritarian positiva rather than natural negativa law, ‘scribblers’ attributed innovations in the HRE to the more backward states (france, spain, italy, russia).
