The Supreme Court said Mr. Reynolds could not break the law while practicing his religion.

Reynolds v. the United States was heard by the Supreme Court in 1878 in regard the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act placed on the Utah Territory.

Reynolds argued that preventing him to marry more than one woman was a violation of his First Amendment rights to protection of religion. The Supreme Court concluded that he had the right to his belief but he could not go around the law to practice his faith. The law stated marriage was to be between two people only and therefore he could not be married to more than one woman.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Divided tribal lands into parcels is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dawes Act was a law passed in 1887 passed by Senator Henry Dawes from Massachusetts, it divided the land of Native Americans and the compensation was paid to the individual Native Americans instead of whole tribe. This law allowed the federal government to divide the reservations and distribute it among the natives individually. The law aimed at breaking the attachment of Native Americans with their tribes and blending them into white American society. The native American had to wait for 25 years for getting ownership of land. Each individual got 40 to 160 Acres of land which they were not allowed to sell. Later the law was revised and the federal government was allowed to decide if the Native was ready for taking over the land before the waiting period.
