The Iroquois used consensus making by tribal accord. The head chief would control the majority and he would be in charge of taking a vote. This was done even though the head chief had the power to do whatever he wanted.
To understand how the Iroquois encouraged consensus decision-making, you need to understand what it means. It is a group decision making process where all the participants agree on the decision made. When the Iroquois encouraged this type of decision making, they set the standards for their values and the way they lived.

Iroquois political and diplomatic decisions are based upon the assessments of community consensus. No Iroquois treaty was binding unless ratified by 75% of the male voters as well as 75% of the mothers of the nation. Consent of two-thirds of the mothers is required for the revision of Council laws or customs. This need for a double supermajority to enact major changes makes the Confederacy a "consensus government".
they all got to vote because they use consensus and it also shows fairness and equity because all the men and women get a chance to vote for the clan mother.
The Iroquois Confederacy first began when five different Native American nations, the Cayuga, the Onondaga, the Mohawk, the Seneca, and the Oneida came together against their common enemies, to strengthen their tribes. Each tribe had its representative. If a tribe had a conflict, the Iroquois Confederacy representatives came together and discussed it until they could reach a compromise. Usually these compromises worked. The Iroquois Confederacy was a form of government among the more Southern Eastern Woodlands Tribes.
