Question

Read the passage.

The smoke of the confederate council fire shall ever ascend and pierce the sky so that other nations who may be allies may see the council fire of the Great Peace…

What does the council fire represent in this passage from the Iroquois Constitution?



the power of the lords of the confederacy and their people



the desire to spread Iroquois teaching to the rest of the world



the authority of the Iroquois Constitution over public affairs



the living example of the peaceful alliance among the Five Nations

Answer 1

the last one I'm pretty sure (D)

Answer 2

The council fire represents in this passage from the Iroquois Constitution the living example of the peaceful alliance among the Five Nations .

There are some keywords in the passage in the lines "So that other nations who may be allies may see the council fire of the Great Peace" here we can see a statement of peace and understanding which matches with option D.

The other options talk about power and authority over others that is not the message of integration they try to convey.
