Explanation:

Babylon was a small Akkadian town which later developed into a full-grown capital city of ancient Mesopotamia. The role of Euphrates was crucial for its development. It provided flood water to the land of Babylon and left it with fertile soil which improves its productivity. Secondly, The river and its tributaries provide an economical trade route to the city. It also helps to gain building materials.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
