How influential was the Iroquois Confederacy on the founders of the U.S.

by Bralbany

I've been seeing stories lately about many of the 'founding fathers' of the U.S being influenced by Roman systems of government and ancient Greek and Roman philosophers' view of government. Were the authors of the constitution also influenced by the Iroquois Confederacy? If so, where in the U.S. system of government can we see the influence of the Iroquois system?
