Sophie Reed · Answer 1

The correct option is 4. It formed an alliance between the Five Nations.

Explanation:

The Iroquois Constitution, also known as the Great Law of Peace, was an oral constitution at first. It established the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, initially with five Iroquois nations, later on with six: Mohawk, Onondaga, Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, and the Tuscarora, who joined the Confederacy last, but had belonged to the Iroquois nations in earlier times. Some historians claim that the democratic ideals of the Iroquois Constitution served as inspiration to framers of the U. S. Constitution.
