a. a council made up of representatives from each nation that deliberated and created collective decisions
b. leaders who carried out and enforced decisions made by the council
c. a single hereditary leader with final authority over all nations
d. a system of judges who resolved conflicts through written legal codes

Explanation:

The U.S. legislative branch is a representative body (Congress) that makes laws (collective decisions). The Iroquois Confederacy's council with representatives from each nation deliberating and creating collective decisions is similar in function (representative - based decision - making). Option B is more like an executive function (enforcing decisions), option C is a monarchy - like structure (not representative), and option D is a judicial function (resolving conflicts).

Answer:

A. A council made up of representatives from each nation that deliberated and created collective decisions
