Decision-Making in the Confederacy


Target


The confederacy did not just run itself! It was structured as an alliance between nations to allow for communication and decision-making by all clans.  It did not regulate the day to day lives of individual clans.  It was not a direct democracy like the democracy of ancient Athens. It was a representative democracy. In this lesson, you will learn how the Confederacy operated.
