The Constitution of the Iroquois Nations is a book that explores the political and social structure of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois Confederacy is a group of Native American tribes that lived in what is now the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. The book provides a detailed account of the Iroquois Constitution, which was a set of laws and customs that governed the behavior of the Iroquois people. The Constitution was created in the 12th century and was based on the principles of peace, unity, and equality. The book explains how the Constitution was passed down through generations and how it influenced the development of American democracy. The author of the book is anonymous, but it is believed to have been written by a European observer who witnessed the Iroquois Confederacy in action. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and social organization of the Iroquois people and their influence on American democracy.All the business of the Five Nations Confederate Council shall be conducted by the two combined bodies of Confederate Lords. First the question shall be passed upon by the Mohawk and Seneca Lords, then it shall be discussed and passed by the Oneida and Cayuga Lords. Their decisions shall then be referred to the Onondaga Lords, (Fire Keepers) for final judgement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
