Answer 1

Answer:

The confederation of the original 13 colonies into one republic was inspired by the political structure of the Iroquois Confederacy,

Explanation:

Initially, the Iroquois Confederacy comprised of 5 independent states. Before the 1500s, the five Iroquois nations dedicated a lot of resources to battling and harming each other. The cost of the war was heavy and their economies were destroyed. The Great Peacemaker thought how the things between them could be made better and to promote peace among the nations. They moved to each of the five nations to discuss their ideas of unity and peace. This idea eas discussed by the founding father of the U.S and in 1988, the U.S senate paid tribute to Iroquois Confederacy for the inspiration.
