so if the commander is the leader of the 12 clans and it was only during Lexas reign that a coalition was formed then what did the commanders befor Lexa do?

If the commander has the power over the 12 clans that would mean he automatically unites these clans which would be a kind of coalition or not? shouldn't there be peace if everybody listens to the same person? i mean it can't be in the interest of the commander to have the clans all fight each other all the time. so what was the purpose of a commander if everybody just killed each other anyway?

with lexa and the coalition it's simple: one united force and no killing and wars with each other

but what was before the coalition?
