What makes a group of people able OR enable to for a community

  1. What makes a group of people able to form a community is not physical factors such as living in proximity but rather communication.
  2. What makes a group of people enable to form a community is not physical factors such as living in proximity but rather communication.
Which one of the two sounds more natural, able or enable? Could you help me clarify it? Thank you so much always.
