Answer 1

The correct response is:

**The Albany Plan did not persuade colonists to unite, while the Iroquois Confederacy bound members together to solve problems.**

The Albany Plan of Union, proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1754, aimed to create a unified government for the thirteen American colonies but ultimately failed to gain the necessary support from the colonies. In contrast, the Iroquois Confederacy, a sophisticated political alliance among Native American tribes, was effective in binding its members together and facilitating cooperation among them in addressing mutual issues and challenges.
