The New World, the start of the United States, is discovered by the assignment of the United East India Company. Seventeen Lords of the United Provinces of The Netherlands have send Henry Hudson on his journey.
This company was together with the Italians, the first in Europe to share the risks of large financial investments for building ships, conducting world-wide trade and the exploratory expeditions that made this possible.
In that time, in Europe, the Dutch were well known for their state of freedom and tolerance. It was the beginning of the Dutch Golden Age. A period of richness and delegated leadership in the cities, which were the centers of trade. Another characteristic of the Dutch society: people’s social status was based on what they did and their income, instead of on their ancestry. The arts, sciences, education, economics, architecture and literature all bloomed.
These elements are still to be found in the DNA of the USA, the first amendment of the bill of rights speaks for itself: it protects the people's right to practice religion, to speak freely, to assemble (meet), to address the government, and of the press to publish.
In the Dutch bill of rights the first amendment is: everybody in The Netherlands is treated equally in equal situations. Discrimination because of religion, beliefs, political affinities, race, gender or on any other ground, is not allowed.
These are the foundations of democracy.
When the Dutch came to America, they brought with them the guilds. Today still there are the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America.
The Dutch were also known for ‘the Dutch disease’: The Dutch society is organized by a consensus model between employers, unions, and government to come to labor agreements. This model goes back into the Middle Ages. In those days, farmers, nobles and citizens had to cooperate to build dikes to keep their feet dry.

If you look at the bill of rights for your organization, what would the first amendment be?
What would the benefits be of a consensus model for your organization?
