With reference to the political configuration of the Gana-Sanghas or oligarchic republics during the sixth century BCE, which of the following statements matches their institutional mechanics accurately?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Gana-Sanghas like the Vajjis and Mallas bypassed absolute monarchy. Power was concentrated in an oligarchy of clan elders who gathered in the Santhagara assembly. Disputes and laws were debated democratically, and when a consensus failed, formal votes were cast using specialized colored tokens called salakas overseen by a ballot officer.
