The major provisions were:

• Member states' constitutions in force at the time of joining were guaranteed.
• The Synedrion, or congress of representatives, was to meet at Corinth.

• The League would maintain an army levied from member states in approximate proportion to their size.
• Philip was declared commander of the League's army.
