Question 767 • Career Explorations A

Which excerpt best reflects the central idea of the “Official Symbolism” excerpt from the Iroquois Constitution?

Answer
A
Likewise such persons who submit to laws of foreign nations shall forfeit all birthrights and claims on the Five Nations Confederacy and territory.
B
Every five years the Five Nations Confederate Lords and the people shall assemble together and shall ask one another if their minds are still in the same spirit of unity for the Great Binding Law.
C
You, the Five Nations Confederate Lords, be firm so that if a tree falls on your joined arms it shall not separate or weaken your hold. So shall the strength of the union be preserved.
D
In case a part or all the Lords pursue a course not vouched for by the people and heed not the third warning of their women relatives, then the matter shall be taken to the General Council of the women of the Five Nations.

Explanation

The “Official Symbolism” excerpt uses the image of a tree falling on the Lords’ joined arms to represent a challenge that must not break their unity. It emphasizes holding together so the union remains strong. Choice C expresses that same symbolic idea directly; the other choices focus on birthrights, meetings, or warnings.
