7 0

One of the main influences on the framers of the Constitution was the unwritten democratic constitution under which the Iroquois Confederacy had operated since the 16th century, according to a group of American Indians and scholars.

''If Americans are going to celebrate the anniversary of their Constitituion, we figure we had better tell them where the idea came from,'' said Chief Oren Lyons, an Onondaga and an associate professor of American studies at the State University at Buffalo.

The Onondaga, based south of here, are one of the six nations that now make up the confederation, which stretches from the Mohawks near Albany to the Senecas near Buffalo.

What was one of the major causes of death along the trail of tears for the cherokee people?
Kruka [31]
The correct answer is C. Harsh weather .

The Trail of Tears was a journey of over a thousand miles for the Cherokee people. This journey resulted in the Cherokee moving from their ancestral homeland of Georgia to modern day Oklahoma. This journey took a significant amount of time and resulted in many deaths due to the brutal cold faced by the Cherokee when marching to Oklahoma. Along with this, the lack of adequate clothing and shelter along this journey ensured that the tough weather conditions would have a significant impact on these people.
