NA
True and False. The Founding Fathers were scholars of the Roman Republic that has been a significant basis of all Western legal systems. But, they were also great friends with French Revolutionaries that expounded Democratic ideals (Voltaire), believers in British Monarchy except for Taxation without Representation (Most scholars believe the Supreme Court was not seen as a third branch to our government until the Marbury v. Madison case), proponents of Religious Liberty and Free Speech that were never before considered by a government, and a million other influences that all found their way into the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
