The statement is true. At the Congress of Viena, the leaders of the European powers adopted the principles of legitimacy and territorial compensation.

Explanation:

The Congress of Vienna was a conference between ambassadors of the great European powers that took place in the Austrian capital between September 1814 and June 1815, whose intention was to redesign the political map of the European continent after the defeat of Napoleonic France the previous spring, applying the principle of territorial compensation to give back lands to their former owners. This congress also intended to restore the thrones of the royal families defeated by the troops of Napoleon (like the restoration of the Bourbons), applying at this time the principle of legitimacy.

The terms of peace were established with the signing of the Treaty of Paris (May 30, 1814), establishing the indemnities to be paid by France to the winning countries. Even after the return of Emperor Napoleon I from exile, having resumed the power of France in March 1815, discussions continued. The Final Act of Congress was signed nine days before Napoleon's final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815.

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.
