Is there another nation's equivalent to "What would the Founding Fathers think" or is that just a purely American thing? (hexbear.net)

Does any nation on earth sincerely ask itself what some guy from 250 years ago would think about said country's modern state or is that only a thing that Americans do? Is there any other equivalent?

Ned Kelly never had a "such is life" tattoo so he's cool in my books

That said, I cannot imagine someone pulling up anyone else on a piece of policy saying "That's not what Ned Kelly meant" or "That's not what Lord Fremantle would do". America feels almost unique in that regard. Maybe Bolivians and Bolivar or Cubans and Castro?
