The correct answer is: Representatives from each nation reached a consensus.
Five Iroquois nations—the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca—formed a political alliance called the Iroquois League. This is also known as the Iroquois Confederation. In 1722, a sixth nation, the Tuscarora, joined the league. The Confederation kept peace among its members and waged war to protect its territory from invasion.
Highly organized and extremely powerful, the Iroquois Confederation held strong for hundreds of years. Its government was founded in the Great Law of Peace, an oral constitution that emphasized the equality of all people. The confederation made decisions through representatives and consensus, or agreement. Some scholars propose that the constitution and structure of the Iroquois Confederation inspired the framers of the U.S. Constitution.
