I'm not answering for Ding, but you raise an interesting topic.
I'd say both.
USA started out as a unique concept (ideal) for government which is still going through an experimental state based upon effects from other nations and changing technologies.
I’ll always remember, a boat trip l took around the whole of Manhattan. Our guide began the tour with saying that America was an ideal. That thought stayed with me on and off for years during my back and forth to the US.
It shows in the Roman and Greek influences on the architecture. The DC Metro stations are pure Roman
And then there are the statues in NYC. Prometheus, Atlas, etc.
