Originally, Immigrants came to America, which is why we are all descendants of immigrants. The Europeans had the 13 colonies, proving why we have aspects of British culture. Something else that influenced our country is the constitution establishing laws in our country. The twenty-seven constitutional amendments were also a big part of the government, but they never changed anything about the constitution, they only added to it. To conclude some of the main things that have influenced our current culture and government, are the US constitution, and mass immigration.
