What is the purpose of the first paragraph of this section of the iroquois constitution?

to describe the meaning of the shell strings
to describe the consequences of disobeying one’s tribe
to describe the traditions of the lords
to describe the history of each tribe in the five nations

no guessing ! i am giving a generous amount of points for a good answer.
( answer and rationale )

to describe the meaning of the shell strings

In this passage, the Iroquois Constitution specifically says "a large bunch of shell stringsshall symbolize". It then goes on to specifically say what the shells symbolize - the coming together of the nations. The other options are simply not valid. This passage does not tell us anything about consequences or the history of each tribe. While it does mention the different Lords, it doesn't say what their traditions are.
