Answer 1

a. controlled which of its members would be allowed to reproduce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oneida community got its name from the place where it was founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 that was Oneida in New York. It was a religious community where the emphasis is laid on communal property and possession. They practiced male sexual continence and complex marriage, which allowed greater freedom of sexuality to women. Children are the responsibility of the commune and there were regulation of sexual relations thus controlling the reproduction of its members.
