Hi Christina,
If your question relates to early American government, much of the answer can be found in the Declaration of Independence, and the first ten Amendments of the Bill of Rights. For instance, American leaders allowed for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection from search and seizure... The largest English traditions that did not influence leaders in the United States was the election of representatives by the people rather then a monarchy.
