Doesn't want it to look like we just copied it, other countries use some of the same ideas, and maybe we don't want to be seen as equal to them.

Some reasons why the u.s doesn't bring where its ideals came from is because the whole premise of starting a new world was that they'd do it differently than their previous ancestors or rulers, but the they ended up taking bits and places from who they were trying to branch away. The reason they probably don't want to attribute they're ideas to the Native Americans is most likely because they completely brutalized them and took over they're land.

1. The US wants to appear as if they created their own government. They take pride in believing that they created all their ideas.

1. Throughout history America South fought with them and killed their people so we don't want to be linked to them and their ideas

I think it's because bits of each government have been combined to form one individual government, so it's a mixture of multiple ideas rather than one specific idea.
