Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Analyze the original excerpt: It says the argument that old treaties are invalid is senseless, as many old world documents (like the US Constitution) are still valid.
2. Evaluate each option:
   - First option: Incorrectly suggests the US Constitution should be ignored, opposite of the excerpt.
   - Second option: Doesn't capture the key point that the argument against old treaties is wrong, just states some ignore old things and the Constitution is old.
   - Third option: Correctly states Mankiller thinks those who say old treaties are invalid due to age are wrong, and many old docs (including US Constitution) are valid.
   - Fourth option: Misrepresents Mankiller's stance as agreeing that old treaties should be disregarded, which is wrong.

# Answer:
According to Mankiller, the people who say that old treaties are invalid because of their age are wrong. Many old documents around the world are still valid, including the United States Constitution.
