Do you think it would be fair to claim that the US Constitution being written down could have a certain amount of basis in the concise codification of French law under Napoleon?
EDIT: I realize that the codification under Napoleon was AFTER the innovation of the US Constitution. However, could the constitution have been influenced by previous efforts at codification?
